Two Crazy Navy Wives: Food, Glorious Food

Get ready for our very first recipe post!! What’s for dinner you ask?

My name is Melanie and I have 6 kids. Feeding a large family on a one income budget is definitely a challenge. Tonight we are having burritos. This recipe is made in my crockpot, takes minimal effort and makes little or a lot. Plus it’s really yummy.

· 1 pot roast

· Potatoes (I prefer red or golden)

· 1 jar any kind of salsa (I’m using salsa Verde, the green kind)

· Tortilla’s (flour or corn. It’s up to you)

*Toppings which are optional. We use cheese and sour cream. Then again I think cheese and sour cream go on everything.

Place pot roast in the crock pot on low for 6 – 8 hours. If your roast is large or you forgot to get it going (like I do), set it to high, but make sure you’re around to check it after a few hours.

Half way through cooking you’ll want to add your potatoes. You can wash and cube your potatoes anytime and put them in a pan of cool water in the fridge. I’ve also cubed and boiled the potatoes and added them at the end. They don’t get the same flavors as adding them in early. You could also use a bag of frozen hash brown potatoes.

Pull out your roast, but leave all the juices. Put your potatoes in, put the roast back on top, and pour your salsa over the whole thing. Once the roast starts to fall apart and you’re ready to eat, just shred up the roast and mix it into the sauce and potatoes.
