Good Ol' American Cookin'

Now as some of you know I am not your traditional cook. I tend to be a bit lazy at times! But most times my food comes out DELISH! 1 Whole Chicken, Frozen 1/4 C and a drizzle of olive oil Seasoning Potatoes either white or sweet or both Carrots  Onions I use a 13x9 pan. Put Whole Frozen bird in pan, drizzle olive oil on top of bird (may slide off a little) and add seasoning here too. Arrange around the outside whatever will fit a mix of potatoes, onions and carrots (Suggest putting in a bowl add about 1/4 C of olive oil and seasoning, mix so everything is coated. Arrange around the bird). Put tinfoil over the whole thing. Put in 350* oven for one hour, remove foil then turn oven up to 400* and return the bird mix to the oven and bake another 30 mins. Be sure to check with meat thermometer(180* on poultry) to see if it is cooked thoroughly. May need to cook another 15-30 mins. All ovens are not the same..... Let sit for about 5-10 mins and serve. Enjoy!   ...

Comfort Food All The Way! I started with a frozen back strap laid in the bottom of a small roaster pan with oil in the bottom of it. I added some Montreal (steak) Seasoning to the top of it. I  added cut up carrots, onions and potatoes around the sides and top of the roast adding more Montreal Seasoning. Adding to the mix about 2-3 Cups of cranberry wine (my home brew). Bake in a 400* oven for 2 hrs.......Yummy! The meat is very moist and falls apart...... Really could do this with any type of meat (small roast)

TRADITIONAL BEEF ROAST     In a large oven proof pot add a couple tbls of oil/bacon grease to brown the meat on all sides. Remove the meat from the pan and add one large cut up onion, 2 Tbls of diced garlic, 2 large pinches of herb seasoning. and 1 tsp of pepper. At this point, if you have fresh potatoes(cut up) and carrots (cut up) add now along with 6 cups of water with 3 cubes/3 tsp. of bouillon, depending on the size of your roast, ours was small. If you have canned goods , open jars, drain and add to the water. Add the meat too!  Put the whole pot in a 350* oven for an hour or until your roast is done....
