Sundays are special! (Usually) before COVD 19, in our family, Sundays were reserved for church and family. We look forward to serving and worshiping in our local church and then coming home to a nice, sit down Sunday lunch.
I've shared before how over 30 years ago when my husband and I were dating, his family introduced me to the blessing of Sunday lunch. After church on Sundays, we would gather at his parents's home where the table would be full of friends, family and delicious food. These were precious times that filled my heart with love, blessing and time to bond and connect with my new family. It stirred my heart to bring this tradition to life in my own home.
Through lots of practice, trial and error, Sunday lunch is an established practice in our home. We enjoy the relaxed time to eat a home cooked meal and eagerly look for opportunities to invite others to join us around the table.
Now this idea sounds so appealing and relaxed, but it takes much forethought and planning to pull of this experience! That peaceful around the table time can quickly get thwarted if people are made to wait too long for the food to prepare! Preparation is the key along with comforting meals that can be made ahead of time and be ready quickly.
I've learned some quick tips and narrowed down some favorite dishes that help make Sunday lunch special I will be sharing here on the blog. The first one is a well known and loved meal and very familiar : Slow Cooker Roast.
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 envelope dry onion recipe soup & dip mix ( I like Beefy Mushroom)
6 medium red potatoes cut in half
3 cups baby-cut carrots or 2-inch pieces peeled carrots
3 pounds boneless beef chuck roast
Step 1
Stir the mushroom soup, soup mix, potatoes and carrots in a 4 1/2-quart slow cooker. Season the beef as desired. Add the beef to the cooker and turn to coat.
Step 2
Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH 4 to 5 hours or until the beef is fork-tender.
