As the weather turns cooler, I find my cart loaded up with roasts. Bottom Round roast cooked in the crockpot with potatoes and carrots is a family favorite. This week check out Beef Stew meats and Pork butt roast too.
I come from a family of Roast-a-holics. So finding ways to budget our meals becomes key. First, buy on sale. This week they have some of my favorite roasts marked down. Just in time! Then, file a meat rebate. Get the form fist, then decide how to split up your meat tickets.
You can easily freeze your roasts in portions you will use. If you are having a difficult time with getting the right size for your crock pot, ask the meat man! I often find it difficult to get a cut to put in my crockpot-Oval shaped 5 quart cooker. So I often ask them to root around to find the ones that fit my cookware.
You can also pick out any larger roast and have it cut at the store. I’ve even asked them to “Cut it lengthwise” for easier fits. I’ve had the huge pork butt roast cut into 4ths for easy meal prep. These roast are wonderful. For ways to cook them, check out some of Sandra Lee’s “Semi Homemade” recipes. She’s fantastic with crockpot roasts.
Last year when turkeys were on sale, I could not find one to fit my vintage roasting pan. A fellow shopper was having her frozen turkey cut down the middle. She bakes half at a time. Wonderful way to save money when turkey goes on sale.
If you visit my house, you can check out my refrigerator freezer. I keep one plastic sterilite container in the freezer at all times marked “Crock Pot.” Inside I put leftovers of carrots, potatoes, corn off the cob, green beans, anything I think could be good thrown in the crockpot.
Use your coupons to add flavor to any crock pot dish. You can usually find Lawry’s seasoning mixes, McCormick, and Good Seasons. You can also look for coupon matches to cheap ways to sweeten your roasts like dried fruit, or applesauce. Look for Welch’s, or Sunmaid fruits. If you have trouble finding them, look near canned fruit.
Finally, save more with your leftovers. My Wednesday roast may be found in Friday Manwich, or in Sunday chili. We never throw out the roast fixins. They can be used in sandwiches, other soups or just plain warmed up in the microwave.
