Savory Slow-Cooker Mexican Pot Roast
There is something about the fall that brings out all sorts of roasts for dinner. I’m not sure if it’s the cooler evening that sparks a desire for meatier dishes or the nostalgic mood that seems to come with Autumn. All I know is that a roast of some sort is always welcome at the table.

Company’s Coming? Then It’s Slow-Cooker Pork Ragù
This is a great meal. Not something you throw together in the crock pot on your way out the front door in the morning, it does need a little prep work and some tending toward the end, but still you’ll have plenty of free down time. I love down time – it let’s me clean the kitchen and set the table and do all sorts of domestic things before supper time including selecting a nice bottle of wine.

Slow-Cooker Creamy Tuscan Chicken Pasta
In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a huge, huge fan of all things Italian. One of the lessons Americans can learn from their Italian neighbors is how to eat – how to enjoy every bite. Have you ever dined with true Italians? Sure, there’s a lot of food, but it’s more than just the food. Italians have an approach to dining Americans need to adapt.
Slow-Cooker Garlic Bulb Chicken
How many slow-cookers is too many? The reason I ask is because I’ve just shared with you an awesomely sinful recipe to honor National Chocolate Nut Day that utilizes a slow cooker, and that got me in a “slow-cooker” frame of mind. Which is fine, if you happen to have more than one slow-cooker.

Shredded Pork Tacos – Slow Cooker Style
There is nothing like coming home to a wonderful meal, all cooked up in a slow-cooker, just waiting for the final touches. These Shredded Pork Tacos are absolutely delicious. The pork can be started in the crock pot while still frozen, perfect for forgetful cooks or last-minute decision makers – no need to defrost ahead of time. The slow-cooked pork is then finished in a large skillet, adding all the “taco” seasonings at the end. There will be plenty of meat left over for a second meal or to use as a filler to make pork enchiladas. The flavors are mild, lending easily to other creations.
Slow Cooker Cubed Steak with Golden Mushroom Sauce
I hav
e no idea why I have been excited to try this new recipe I picked up while visiting Joyously Domestic. The recipe was originally posted to her blog back in 2013; which shows you how behind I am at working my way through my vast collection of recipes. Once my collection reached over 4,000 recipes; I quit counting. (But not collecting). Anyhow; when it came time to sit down and put together the meal planner for the week, I came across this recipe and suddenly I was excited. It’s simply, cooks in a crock pot, and yet there was something magical about it. Maybe it’s the use of Golden Mushroom Soup. The very idea of cubed steak smothered in not one but two Campbell Mushrooms soups is so . . . dare I say it . . . retro. And therein lay that magical comfort in a world that at times seems spinning out of control. An old friend was returning – Campbell soup – and the thought got my heart to pitter-patter.
Growing up, nearly everything we ate was truly from scratch or home-grown. However; when I ventured out on my own for the first time, a great deal of what I cooked came from a recipe found on the side of a can of Campbell’s soup. Working nights, attending school during the day, with two small children in the house, I needed all the short-cuts I could find. This recipe reminded me of my younger by-gone days, and that warmed this old heart.
This dish is definitely a throwback to comfort foods of the past. It is saucy, beefy and simple. Very reminiscent of Shepherd’s Pie when served over a bed of mashed potatoes. Yeah, Shepherd’s Pie up-side-down would best describe the taste and texture. My guys really enjoyed the flavors, and that’s always a plus in my book.
Slow Cooker Cubed Steak with Golden Mushroom Sauce
2 pounds (approx.) cubed steak
Kosher salt
Black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup flour
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can golden mushroom soup
1 Soup Can of Whole Milk
1/2 Soup Can of Beef Stock
4 oz button mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
4 Cups Hot Mashed Potatoes
Season both sides of each piece of meat with salt and pepper. Pour the flour into a gallon-size plastic bag. Season flour liberally with salt and pepper. Seal and shake to incorporate.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet set to medium-high heat. Lay bag containing seasoned flour flat on the counter, open end toward you. Working in batches (about half the steaks) place 1 cube steak at a time into the bag and dredge in flour, shaking off excess. Place into skillet to brown. Repeat until skillet is full without being over-crowded (about 4 steaks). Brown for about 3 minutes, turn and brown other side for about 3 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Add the other 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Allow to melt, then repeat the browning process with the remaining steak.
Once all steaks are browned, return the now empty skillet to stove top and add in both cans of soup. Stir with a wooden spoon to combine, then add in milk and beef stock. Stir to incorporate and bring to a gentle simmer. Be sure to scrape up any brown bits remaining in the bottom of the pan from browning steaks with your spoon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the sliced mushrooms.
Lay half of the steak in the bottom of the slow cooker in a single layer. Pour about half of the soup mixture over the steak. Lay remaining steak over the top of the first layer and pour remaining mixture over them.
Cover and cook on low for 7 – 8 hours. Serve over mashed potatoes.
