We had to be out of the house the entire day, yesterday. I knew we would come home tired and hungry and I wouldn't feel exactly thrilled to start cooking dinner. A few weeks ago, the store had boneless pork roasts on sale and I happened to have a nice chunk in the freezer. Before we left the house, I put the pork in the crock pot, sprinkled it liberally with salt, pepper, onion, and garlic powder, turned it on a long, low cooking timer . . . and took off. When we got home, the pork was tender and all I had to do was make rice and a vegetable.
Just thought I'd share that as even if the meat is frozen, you can still get a good meal with some patience and a slow cooker! I didn't add any vegetables or water. The roast, itself, came up with a good amount of great broth which is slated for soup later this week.
My family was happy to have a hot meal on time even after a busy day. I was glad we didn't have to resort to fast food and thrilled there is enough meat leftover to make oven-bake burritos today and soup later in the week.
