When my husband proposed to me, I joined a gym to get myself ready for our wedding. A nutritionist met with me and we discussed different diet plans but the one that appealed to me the best at the time was a low-sodium diet. I am a major fan of salty snacks (mostly, popcorn)
Slow-Cooker Pot Roast
Here is all you need for an amazing and flavorful roast:
2 cans of beef broth
1 onion
1 packet of Italian dressing mix
Put everything in the crockpot. It doesn't matter how you arrange it, but I put a little broth in the bottom first. Leave it on low for 8-10 hours. For me, it's perfect at 8.5 hours, but if you're leaving it there during the work day or something, it's still amazing by 10 hours.
Serve it with whatever you want. These are my stand-by favorites: corn, mashed potatoes, garlic green beans. This is my favorite meal to make in my crockpot.
Budget Breakdown:
A good sale on pot roast is normally no more than $2.99/lb. When it's anything less, I take advantage of those prices. Spending $9.00 on a meat item is normally not good for me, but I split this meat in half and use the rest to make beef rolled tacos or I have a full leftovers meal the next day for everyone.
Pot Roast: $9.00
Beef broth, 2: $1.38
Onion: $1.00 or less
Italian dressing: $1.00 or less
Total: $12.38 for 2+ meals = $6.19 or less per dish.
