Watch Out Claim Jumper!!!!

My sweet friend Missy shared the most delish Baked Potato Soup recipe with me......

Yes, it is a crock pot recipe :)

I swear this soup gives Claim Jumper's a run for their money.

I added a shallot and the onion is key!

You should try it on the next cold, blustery day!

Baked Potato Soup

9 medium-large russet potatoes; peeled and chopped

¼ cup butter

1 small onion; chopped

1 shallot; chopped

2tsp salt (I use way more)

1 ½ tsp pepper (I use way more)

3 14oz cans Chicken Broth

8oz Half and Half

16oz shredded cheddar cheese

Bacon; cooked and crumbled

Chives; chopped

Sour Cream

1. Put potatoes, onion, shallot, s&p, butter and chicken broth in Crockpot for 9 hours on low (4 hours on high).

2. After 9 hours, use potato masher to mash potatoes until almost smooth…leave lumps!

3. Stir in Half and Half, chives and cheese.

4. Top each bowl with selected toppings!

5. Enjoy!!!



Makes my mouth water.....

 

I couldn't stop thinking about it.

Sitting at my desk, nearly salivating, knowing that the 5lb hunk of roast was at home, waiting for me, simmering in that delicious mushroom-y, onion-y, savory sauce.

I counted down the minutes until I could grab my keys, run out the door and fight traffic just to be greeted at the door by the amazing aroma of my favorite hearty dinner.

Crock Pot Roast!!!!

I love this recipe!

It is something that requires simple ingredients, is delish, basically makes itself and transforms a tough cut of meat into a tender melt-in-your mouth favorite.

Don't tell your boyfriend/husband/kids that you weren't slaving over a hot stove all day!

The Recipe

6-8 small potatoes

15-20 baby carrots

3.Liberally coat meat with flour. If you have some left over that's OK.

4.Sear the meat in the pan for a few minutes. Make sure each side is nicely browned.

5. Place meat in crock pot. Add Onion soup mixes.

6.Empty both cans of Cream of Mushroom soup into pot.

8.Wedge potatoes and carrots around the roast.



9. Pop the lid on your Crock Pot, turn to Low and after 8-9 hours your super awesome, cold-blustery day meal will be ready! The carrots and potatoes are nice and tender :) I may or may not have been tempted to drink the gravy from a measuring cup Enjoy!
