Things to Do in Your Long Subaru - Take Your CrockPot to Work



If you've ever wondered what else you can do in your Long Subaru - here's an idea. Transport your favorite Crock-pot dish to work. Three entries in our Crockpot Cookoff / SlowCooker Showdown made it to the table. A fourth was a no-show due to some electrical issue. We had Portuguese Sausage & Beans (via Forester), Pomegranate Pot Roast (via Legacy), and Cinnamon Bread Pudding (via Outback). We find a 6-7qt. crock-pot fits perfectly into the rear foot well (and the all weather mats add heat/spill protection).

The wining recipe is provided for you below. Enjoy!

Pomegranate Pot Roast

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, sliced
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoon Herbs de Provence
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3.5 pounds beef roast
4 garlic cloves (whole or sliced in half)
1 (14-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup unsweetened pomegranate juice
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup dried cranberries

 

The Directions:

In a mixing bowl combine the crushed tomatoes, pomegranate juice, and vinegar. Slice the garlic cloves in half and add them as well as the cranberries. Mix and let sit while you do the rest.

In a small bowl mix the cinnamon, salt, and Herbs de Provence.

Use at least a 6-quart crock pot. Swirl the olive oil into the bottom of the stoneware. Add the sliced onion. Rub the spices on all sides of meat and add to the stoneware on top of the onion. Pour the juice liquid mix on top. 

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

and uses raisins instead of cranberries and a few different changes.
