I made the yummiest pot roast last night.  Holy heck it was good!

You can find the recipe here.  If you cannot tell, I am not the kinda gal who creates her own dishes.  There are enough talented people in the world to do that.  I will just cook the dishes they create and talk about them.

This was so yummy, and you are able to cook it in one pot.

The only thing I did different, was add a little beef broth just to cover the bottom of the crock pot.  The husband loved the addition of the mushrooms.  Too bad he left his lunch in the fridge, which he does 99.9% of the time.

The perfect meal for a chilly night!

Another meal I like to cook on a chilly night is potato soup.

*****This is where I mention that this recipe is not health savvy.  There is cheese and cream.  Amen*****

Ingredients

• Potatoes
• 2 stalks of celery
• 1 onion
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 can cream mushroom soup
• 1 packet white gravy mix
• Cheddar Cheese
• Salt
• Pepper
• Bacon
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Half and Half

Instructions

1. Chop your celery, onion, and clove of garlic and saute in a pan with olive oil.
2. While the above is getting all yummy, peel and cut up your potatoes and boil until tender with a fork. I like to cut my potatoes as cube like as possible.  If you do not want to cut potatoes, you can use a bag of hash browns.  It is just as good.
3. Strain the potatoes leaving a cup of the potato water behind to add to the soup
4. Add the celery, onion, garlic to the potatoes, and add the can of cream of mushroom soup.  Fill the can from the soup about 3/4 full of half and half and add to the pot.  Cook on low to medium heat.
5.  Add the gravy mixture following the instructions per the packet.
6. Add some cheese.  This is completely up to you.  I like alot of cheese so I start with a handful and go from there.
7. Add potato water as needed for the consistency you like.  I like mine thick and creamy.
8. Serve with a sprinkle of bacon and cheddar cheese, and voila!

Sometimes, I mash some of the potatoes to make it even creamier.  It is sooooooooo good.

So there you have it, my quickie potato soup.
