The first snow...and an easy slow cooker recipe

Today we had our first good snow of winter and it was beautiful! Doc man LOVES the snow and would play out in it all day if we let him =). Personally, I think it's more fun to sit by your Christmas tree when there is snow falling! Here are a few pictures...

I have been trying out a few new recipes and here is an easy slow cooker cranberry roast. Slow cooker recipes are great for us 1. because we have such crazy schedules and 2. it makes your house smell wonderful!

INGREDIENTS:

1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix

1 (3 lb) beef chuck roast

1 (16 oz) can jellied cranberry sauce

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS:

1. Place onion soup mix in bottom of slow cooker. Place roast in the slow cooker, and top with cranberry sauce.

2. Cover, and cook 8 hours on low.

3. Remove roast, and set aside. Set slow cooker to high. Whisk together butter and flour, and slowly mix into the liquid remaining in the slow cooker to create a thick gravy. Serve with the roast.

It was oh so easy and delicious! See?!
