Got any of that Crock Pot French Chuck Roast left?

In case you do, here's one use of the leftovers that is quick, easy and delicious.

For each person you're serving:

3 oz cooked meat (like the roast)	3-5 points
1/4 c chopped onions	0
1/4 c chopped green pepper	0
1 t oil (flavored, if you have it)	1
1 c diced veggies (like peas and carrots)	2
2 oz canned sliced mushrooms	0
1/2 T cornstarch	0
1/2 c roast drippings, defatted

In sprayed skillet, heat oil (if using). Sauté onion and green pepper and any other raw vegetables that you are using. Dice them to an appropriate size according to the amount of cooking each requires. If a veggie requires less cooking time, add it later. Add drained mushrooms and thinly sliced or diced meat and heat through. Sprinkle with cornstarch and stir to combine completely. At this point use seasoning that compliments your meat choice, perhaps Worcestershire sauce, roast drippings, soy sauce, hot sauce (but not all!) and heat to boiling.

Separately, prepare a starch: 3 pierogies* per person (or)
                                                    1 c rice or pasta

Serve meat mixture over the starch. All this takes is about 10-15 minutes total.

 

Fast and delicious!

*I buy pierogies from my Schwan's delivery person. You may find them elsewhere.
