Chili and Pot Roast #2

The chicken was ok. I put garlic on top and a layer of mozzarella. I would def make again. Of course I always LOVE mashed sweet potatoes with butter and cinnamon.

Saturday night we made our first attempt at chili in the crock pot. I made awesome chili on the stove a week or so ago, but my hubby wanted to try in the crock pot. I can't really say all of what went into it because myhusband kept playing with it too. But It was basically 2 lbs ground beef, 1/2 bag black beans, 1/2 bag kidney beans, onion, garlic, and a load of spices. My husband added in some bacon and a rib bone from us BBQing ribs for lunch. The chili wasn't too bad. The meat was a little spongy, not sure how to fix that. The taste was ok, but was better with lots of tapatio.

Tonight I am making another roast. This one is beef eye of round roast. I trimmed the fat off of the side, laid it on a layer of onions with some water and beef boulon. I covered with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and then BBQ sauce. It's in the crock pot on low set for 12 hours. I have high hopes.
