I knew that it was going to be a hectic weekend, trying to haul their stuff out of the upstairs, so I made use of my slow cooker for dinner. When you know you're going to be busy, there's nothing like throwing it all in a pot and dishing it up later.
I had found a great deal on a top round steak and decided that low, slow and with plenty of liquid was the best way use this cut. The meat was sliced into strips, thrown into the slow cooker, covered with sauce and we started the job of moving.
When we called that project to a hault, I started some rice, thickened the sauce and threw the broccoli in to finish off the dish. Thirty minutes later, dinner was good to go. How easy is that? The taste was good, too.
