This go-to recipe is wonderful on cold days, and can be set up first thing in the morning for a welcoming dinner at the end of the work day. To do that, use frozen meat and set the crockpot on low.

  • Remove roast and slice thinly. Add back into crockpot gravy.
  • Serve on crusty rolls, with gravy in small bowls for dipping.

Notes

If your meat is frozen, it will take longer to cook.  You can set the crockpot on high in that case in order to ensure the meat is thoroughly cooked.  You do not need to mix the soups together, they will blend naturally.  
Feel free to mix and match different ‘cream of’ soups, depending on what is available in your cupboard.

  • Cover pot and boil for 20-25 minutes, until potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork. Drain water from pot.

Notes

Another nice add is to stir in a little sour cream – not necessary, but delicious!  
Alternate directions:
Melt butter in a heavy casserole like a dutch oven. Add potatoes, season with salt and pepper, coat with melted butter. Cover and cook over low heat for 30-45 minutes, shaking casserole occasionally to rotate potatoes. Toss with dill.
 
This technique can be a little tricky as you HAVE to trust the process and you HAVE to keep the heat low and you shouldn’t take the lid off (you can but it will take longer).  It takes a little less of your attention, however.
