Super Easy Crock Pot Beef Roast

Cook Time:  8 hours in Crock Pot

Ingredients:

3 lb Frozen Grass fed beef chuck or arm roast
3/4 liter Burgundy
1 Thinly Sliced Onion
1 Beef or Vegetable Bullion
1 T Worchester Sauce
1 Bay Leaf
2 C Water

Directions: If you are organized and pre-plan your meals . . . you could thaw your grass fed beef roast, tenderize it and sear it on both sides with some butter or olive oil in the pan before throwing it in a crock pot.

However, if your schedule is hectic like ours . . . we just throw all the ingredients including the frozen grass fed beef chuck in a crock pot set on low and cook all day (about 8 hours or more). Either way . . . you will have beef so tender it will be falling apart.

2 Tablespoons olive oil/butter (preferably from grass-fed cows)
1 medium onion, chopper
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes

2 Tablespoons chili power
1 teaspoon freshly ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
For the topping:
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
1 cup sour cream

Directions:
Cover beans with warm water, stir in lemon juice, cover, and soak in a warm place for 18-24 hours. Drain, rinse, and place in a slow cooker. *(Skip with step with pre cooked beans from a can.)
 

In a skillet over medium-low heat, brown the ground beef in olive oil/or butter. Combine the meat and remaining chili ingredients in the slow cooker, and cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for to 10 hours, until the beans are tender.

Gourmet Mushroom Onion Burger

Ingredients:

2lbs lean grass fed ground beef

1/4 lb fresh mushrooms (chopped fine)

1/2 lrg onion (chopped fine)

1 T Worcestershire sauce

1/2 T fresh minced garlic

1 T garlic oil

1/2 t fresh ground black pepper

Directions: Combine all ingredients. Form into hamburger patties.

Cooking the perfect BURGER: The ideal patty is 6 oz shaped into a 4 1/2 inch circle, 3/4 inch thick on the edges and 1/2 inch thick in the center. These patties will cook evenly and not end up puffy and round. Burgers should be grilled or fried over medium-high heat for a nice crusty exterior and a juicy interior. You can tell if your grill is hot enough if you can hold your hand 5 inches above the grill rack for 3-5 seconds, but no longer. Leave the grill uncovered while cooking burgers. Don't cook too long. For a medium burger- 2 1/2 minutes on the first side and 3 minutes after flipping. Don't press with your spatula- you'll squeeze out the juices.
