Lazy mama's beef roast

I just threw some stuff together this past week and stumbled into the most delicious pot roast I've ever made.

It's a very loose recipe and the best part is that you make it in a slow cooker, so there's no babysitting. Sorry there's no pictures - we ate it too fast!

Ingredients:
2 pound beef roast
1 can reduced sodium beef broth (plus enough water to just barely cover the top of the roast)
1 medium onion sliced
1-2 tablespoons steak seasoning (I love McCormicks!)
1/2 cup steak sauce

Steps:
Place onion in the bottom of the slow cooker and put the meat on top. Mix the broth, the steak sauce and the steak seasoning and pour it over the roast. Add a bit more water if necessary.

Cook on low for 6-7 hours. Meat will be fork-tender and sooo delicious! As always, if you try it, tell me how it tasted!

5 Tips for Buying Meat on a Budget

From the High and Noble Calling blog:

Here are a few tips for saving on meat:
1) Only buy when it is marked down
I have a pretty keen eye for those little yellow stickers! I know which
days of the week our local grocery stores mark down their meats and shop then.
And even then, I only buy the on sale marked down meats and a coupon sweetens
the deal. I will also rollover some catalina deals if the store is doing them
and use them for meat/produce, the most expensive parts of my budget!


For the other four tips, head on over and show some love!
