My Experience- The Process:
Really simple to make. Just plopped everything into the cooker. I especially liked this recipe because I was able to unwrap the roast straight into the cooker and avoid touching it. I despise touching raw meat, totally grosses me out! Bleh.
Anyway, this recipe really was great for just "fixing and forgetting" I am glad to have found a recipe in the Ms. Good's cookbook that is true to it's name.

It was pretty good. I also added split peas to the recipe (sorry forgot to mention that!) and they cooked well in the slow cooker which I am grateful for. For me I would good it 4 stars, good, but not great. It was pushed up from a 3 because of how easy it was to make.
The husband also gave it 4 stars.
In case you're wondering, my super intricate scale of rating recipes takes into account how easy the meal was to prepare, and how good it tasted.
I then average that out with the husband's rating. I determine this by asking, "honey, how was dinner?" And rank the meal based on one of the following responses:
"Great!" or "Really good" = 5 stars
"Good" = 4 stars
"Okay" = 3 stars
"Eh" = 2 stars
"Not very good" or he gets sick = 1 star
And since I don't work (meaning blog) on weekends I will see you all on Monday! Happy Cooking <3
My boyfriend, his mom and my best friend all dislike touching raw meet - just like you do. I never had a problem with that so whenever I'M around while they have to prepare meet, I have to do it :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the recipe does sound tasty but I won't be able to cook it myself as I have no slow cooker. Did you taste the celery vry much? I'm not a big fan of celery and try to avoid them whenever I can.
