    French Dip Sandwiches

    2-3 lbs. roast
    1 package dried onion soup mix
    2 C. water
    3 t. beef bullion
    Rolls
    1 can mushrooms (optional)

    Mix soup mix, water and bullion in crock pot, place roast in crock pot.  Cook on low 6-8 hours.  Take roast out and shred the meat.  Place shredded meat back in crock pot juices.  Cut rolls in half and toast if desired. Place meat in rolls and use leftover juices for au jus dipping sauce.  (I like to put a little mayo on the rolls before the meat.)

    SERVES 8-10 or more depending on how much meat you use per roll.

    Label:  Thaw meat before cooking or add time to total cooking hours in crock pot.  Shred meat and return to crock pot. Cut rolls in half and place meat on rolls.  Use leftover juice for the au jus dipping sauce.  Enjoy!

    For simplicity of preparing this recipe for the group, I am doing 5 meals that will feed 8 instead of 10 meals that will feed 4.  I hope that is ok!

    Crock Pot Cashew Chicken


    1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut each thigh into about 6 pieces (I usually don’t use chicken breasts because they tend to dry out)
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    1 Tbsp canola oil
    1/4 cup soy sauce
    2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
    2 Tbsp ketchup
    1 Tbsp brown sugar
    1 garlic clove, minced
    1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger

    1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

    1/2 cup cashews
    2 cups zucchini


    3.  Combine everything except nuts and zucchini in freezer bag.
    4. Combine zucchini and nuts in a different bag.
    5. Freeze.

    On cooking day, empty chicken bag into Crock-pot, and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours. Add cashews and zucchini 1/2 hour before serving and stir. Serve over rice.
