If you dice the onion small enough it will disintegrate and she wont know its in there and you still get the flavor.

Thanks for all the help!
We are having that for dinner tonight actually. Aa long as the potatoes and carrots get cooked long enough I love them cooked that way.
Ropa vieja is my favorite thing to make in the slow cooker. Basically a pot roast with different spices and bell peppers (and onions for those that like them) instead of potatoes and carrots. The sauce is so good.
Broke out the crock pot this morning to make this, can't wait till i get home and smell it.Quote:
4lb chuck roast - browned w/ ranch seasoning
white pearl onions
carrots
red potatoes
mccormick pot roast season
liptons onion soup packets
bear flag red wine
1. Season the meat with ranch seasoning
2. brown the meat on all sides
3. Cut up all veggies and place in bottom of crock pot
4. Place roast over veggies
5. Pour in 1/2 cup water, seasonings & 1 cup red wine (or would you use 1 cup water, 1/2 cup wine?)
6. Cook on low for 8 hours
So I have a question. I used a mix with lots of carrots, potatoes and celery plus alot (too much) water I think. It turned out like beef stew.
So I am assuming less water and maybe pan searing the meat prior to dropping in the crock pot will keep the meat from falling completely apart and making a stew out of it? Help!
One option is to dredge the roast in a little bit of flour and sear it in the pan with a little oil. The flour will also help to thicken the sauce.Quote:
