Layered Dinner




I saw this receipe and thought that it was interesting. I could put everything in my slow cooker: meats & sides. I was pretty happy about that: cook while at work and come home and just throw the food on a plate :)
Below are the ingredients that I used. However, you can use whatever meats and vegetables that you please.

Ingredients:
~ 1 1/2 lbs. rib eye steak
~ 1 T of your favorite seasoning rub
~ 1 T dried onion flakes
~2 T Worcestershire sauce
~ 1/4 cup of tequilla
~2-4 potatoes
~ 2-4 ears of corn
~ aluminum foil

Directions:
~ Put the meat at the bottom of the crock pot. Rub both sides of the meat with seasoning rub. Add the worcestershire sauce and tequila.
~ Wash the potatoes and fold into the foil. Shuck the corn and also wrap into the foil. Add to the crock pot.
~ It doesnt matter if the corn or the potatoes are on top, just make sure the beef is on the bottom of the crock pot.

Cook times:
~Cook on high for 5-7 hours or on low for 8 hours. I cooked mine on low.

How did the meal go over?
~ the meat was very tender and as you can tell from the picture had fallen apart by the time i had taken it out of the crock pot. Still, the meat was fantastic. Between the seasoning rub, dried onion, the sauce and tequila, the flavor of the steak was fantastic. The potato was good as well. I always have to add some butter and cheese to mine. I was not happy with the way the corn turned out. It really dried out in the crock pot and wound happening to open a can of corn to eat. The meal was tasty, but like I said, the corn on the cob did not work out for me at all!!! I will try this meal again though. The meat was really tasty.

Menu for the night:
~ Rib eye steak
~ Potatoes
~ Corn on the cob (well, canned corn)
~ Green beans
~ Salad
