Foil! Easy Roast with Easy Clean-up

Foil!


I was just amazed by a simple foil trick that I never tried before today.  My friend makes a great brisket in the crock pot using foil.  Foil is so inexpensive compared to fancy crock pot liners and cooking bags.  For this simple recipe, all you need is a roast or brisket large enough to fill your crock pot, marinade, and heavy duty foil.  My crock pot is very large- about five quarts, and I pick large roasts that easily feed my five hungry men.  Take your meat and season it as you would like; you can even add some store bought marinade.  Carefully wrap the meat in a large piece of foil.  Fold over the ends of the foil over the meat to completely enclose the roast in a tight package, and seal up the package to make it leak proof.  Then, pop it in the crock pot for about 8 hours on low.  The cooked meat is fall apart tender, moist, and completely infused with flavor!  Clean up is so easy!!!  You just take the roast out and wash a pretty clean crock pot.  One three dollar package of foil can wrap at least five roasts- maybe more.  Another trick is to individually wrap baked potatoes in foil and pop them in a separate crock pot on high for 2 to 3 hours.  Viola!!! It is easy to crock a meal on a busy school night, and the house will stay cool without oven roasting.

I have a great idea... make up a recipe and comment it below!  We can swap tasty crock roasts; please use foil to wrap the meat.  I am going to try this again tomorrow and make a tasty Asian style pork roast full of flavor!  Thank you for supporting my blog; please share my link.  I really appreciate the support!

Family Blessings,
