Pot Roast

360 cookware

Although it is still in the 80's here in Florida, it is fall. We have been busy trying to get back to normal after surgeries and a hurricane, and a slow cooked meal is always a welcomed treat. It's even better the next day.

Begin with a 2 to 2 1/2 pound Chuck roast. In a stockpot, brown the meat on both sides.

Cover and bring to a low boil.  Turn the heat to low and simmer for about 4 to 6 hours. Meat should be fork tender. Plate and enjoy, or serve in a bowl with extra broth, the way I love it.

Butternut Squash Lasagna

The holidays are a difficult time if you are dieting. My wife saw a recipe for a low-carb lasagna in a magazine, and asked me to make it. I read it and thought, it just wasn't lasagna. I went through the pantry looking for ingredients that would create a healthy and delicious meal.
There are two ways to make the noodles. You can slice them by hand, or you can do it the way I do, with a vegetable sheet cutter on my KitchenAid mixer. Once you get the hang of using the sheeter, it's a breeze to slice long ribbons of vegetables that can be sliced to your desired length.

Country Fried Steak with Sun Dried Tomato Gravy

Sometimes I just want comfort food. Country fried steak takes me back to my grandma's kitchen. This is a great recipe with the unexpected twist of sun dried tomatoes in the gravy and marinade.

Start by making the marinade. In a zip top bag add:
1/2 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon sun dried tomato spread
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder



Shake bag to mix well.
Add cube steak and let rest for 30 minutes.

While meat is marinating, start making the gravy. In a skillet, add 2 tablespoons​ butter and two tablespoons flour. Heat over a low heat until the butter melts, making a thick roux.

Add:
2 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons sun dried tomato spread
1 finely diced roasted red pepper
2 packets no-salt added beef bouillon
 Heat and stir until gravy thickens.


In  two bowls, add  half a cup of flour in one and two beaten eggs in the other.
