We all need to eat, right? This area gives great ways to save money on your food budget without feeling deprived. Some of these recipes are great to eat as a family and others are nice enough to serve to guests. What all of them have in common is that they are easy on the bank account AND taste buds.
Here is a great recipe that can feed your family a pot roast in under an hour for about $5-$10!!
Pressure Cooker Pot Roast
Buy an inexpensive roast when they go on sale. Remember, 4 ounces of meat per person is a serving! That means a 2 lb roast is sufficient for 6-8 people [yes, it really is]. Brown it quickly in a pressure cooker. Add garlic, onions, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, basil, oregano….whatever! I pub in about 4 cups of water [so there is plenty of broth]. Then close the pressure cooker and cook it at 15 lbs of pressure for about 25 minutes [don't start the timer until the weight is rocking]. While that is cooking peel and cut some potatos, celery, carrots and whatever other vegetables you like [root vegetables seem to work best]. When the 25 minutes is up let the pressure drop by taking it off the heat. When the lock disengages add the veggies and a bit more liquid [maybe a cup or so]. Add salt and pepper if needed then put the lid back on, bring it up to pressure and let it cook for 6 minutes.
It sounds like a lot of steps but it is actually a quick, one pot meal that goes from fridge to table in under an hour. Slow cooked taste, at the speed of the 21st century!
