Dinner In A Bag!

This simple dinner inspired by my Step-Mother JaNan, is delicious and no fail, super easy!!! McCormick Pot Roast bags (with seasoning included can be found by the seasoning in any grocery store. I keep stocked up.

1 Rolling Hills Farm beef roast (any cut)

4-6 potatoes

1 onion cut into chunks

6 carrots chunked

(Any other vegetables your family likes...we add green beans and broccoli)

Preheat oven to 350

Open bag and place in 9x13 metal or glass pan. Add roast and vegetables, mix seasoning and 3/4 cup of water. Pour seasoning over meat. Close bag with tie. Make several small holes in bag with fork. Cook according to package directions. Most of our roasts are 3-4 pounds. Use caution when opening bag as it releases steam.

4 large potatoes

1 T virgin olive oil

Set your pork in the Crock Pot Fat side up. Make cuts 1- inch apart and stuff with garlic cloves. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2 hours to 2-1/2 hours. While pork is cooking, slice potatoes into wedges and place on baking sheet. Drizzle with Olive Oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper or your favorite spices.

BBQ Pulled Pork

1 or 2 Pork Roasts (depending on the amount of BBQ you would like) 1 roast will give you an average of 2-21/2# of BBQ (or more) and two roasts will give you double that amount.

Cook your pork roast in the Crock Pot for 4-6 hours on LOW or 3-3 hours on HIGH. Remove the roast and place to rest in a serving bowl. When cool enough to touch (or use tongs) pull apart pork and eliminate any fat or bones.

Add your favorite BBQ sauce to the pulled pork (or ask me for my home made Rolling Hills Farm BBQ Sauce).

Some fresh canned dill or sweet pickles would make this perfect!!

When you can handle the cabbage, peel off leaves and make a pile. In a large mixing bowl combine chosen meat, cooked rice, chopped onion and beaten egg. Mix well. Roll a small hand full of meat in a cabbage leaf and place in a 9X13 glass/metal baking pan. Tuck them one after another making rows and then start another until you have two full rows.

4 Pack of Rolling Hills Farm Pork Chops (brown them lightly on both sides over med-high heat using salt)
