Family Fun in the Kitchen 02-13-2016

Lavon and Miss NiNi talk more about using slow cookers.

ALMOST PRIME RIB

This recipe is from the 125th Anniversary Cookbook of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Atlantic. It was passed along by Colleen Lange. I have used it numerous times. It is easy and yummy. I use a boneless rump roast but any less expensive (than prime rib) roast will work.

1 (2 to 5 lb.) beef roast
1 pkg. au jus mix
1 pkg. Italian dressing mix
1 can beef broth
1/2 can water
Put beef roast into crock-pot. Combine other ingredients and pour over meat. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. Slice and pour juice over pieces to serve.
