Smothered Burritos

3 lb pork roast or pork country style spare ribs

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 cups salsa verde

1 can green chiles

4-6 burrito size tortillas

shredded cheese

Place your pork in the crock pot and sprinkle the cumin, chili, onion, and garlic powder, and brown sugar over the top of the pork. Pour about a cup of water around the pork to keep in moist. You can also pour a can of lemon-lime soda instead of water to give it more flavor. Cook on low heat for 7-9 hours.

After meat is done, shred and put about 1/3 cup of meat in the middle of each tortilla. (You don't want to use all of the meat, you will use the rest to put over top of the burritos.) Fold up burrito style. Place in a 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and broil on high 2-3 minutes. Mix the remaining shredded pork with chiles and green sauce. Pour over the top of the burritos and then sprinkle with cheese. Place back in the oven and broil until cheese is melted. You can serve these with sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes or anything else you like on burritos! Enjoy!

Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches

2-3 lb. beef roast

2 - 14 oz. cans beef broth

2 packets onion soup mix

2 cups water

hoagie buns

swiss cheese

I found a cheap rump roast that worked and tasted great! Brown roast on each side. This should only take a few minutes on each side. Salt and pepper it as you brown it. Next place the roast in the crock pot, add 2 cups water, 2 cans broth, and packets of onion soup mix. Cook on high for 4-6 hours or on low 8-10 hours. Before you shred the beef, take out the roast and empty the juice from the crock pot. You can use this as the au jus. Shred the beef. We like to heat the buns up by buttering them, then browning them on an electric griddle. We add swiss cheese to the sandwiches and slice up some potatoes to make homemade fries which go great with these sandwiches. Enjoy!
