London Broil Plated

When I made this I had no idea that it would become my favorite dish of all time. Sometimes things turn out like you hope and sometimes they can be a huge flop. This could have gone either way, but I had my hopes up.

The minute we sat down for dinner and everyone tasted it, I KNEW it was a huge hit. There wasn’t a bite left. The ohh, ahhs, moans and groans said it all.

Now, it is a family favorite and one made on a very regular basis. It is easy and when you find the ingredients on sale makes for a very budget friendly meal. I found coupons for the Grill Mates that doubled and made it free, the London Broil was on clearance and I also found the gravy mix and ranch mix on sale. Total for this dish was approximately $6!

Stir all 3 packages of mixes into 1 and 1/2 cups of water.

Place the London Broil in a slow cooker and pour the gravy mix over the top.

Cook on low for 6-8 hours depending on how big your cut of meat is.

Remove from slow cooker and slice. It should just fall apart on you, and that is ok. When you plate it spoon some gravy over the top for the best results.

I can’t ever have this without mashed potatoes because the gravy from the meat is sooo stinking good on the mashed potatoes that it isn’t even funny. I also like to have a roll handy to sop up any gravy left on the plate after everything else has been eaten. The other side you see on the plate here is fried cabbage. Yummy to the whole meal!!

I haven’t written about it in awhile but I am still working towards a healthier version of me. I gave up on the Zumba though, it just about killed me. I am sticking to the treadmill…it is much more my pace and I don’t have to worry about making my body move in ways that were designed for a size 2 person with coordination that I have never possessed.

One of the things that I have had the hardest time with is snack foods. When I snack I typically want crispy, salty type items. Yep, like chips. So in my quest to find something satisfying I found out about Old London. The Roasted Garlic Melba Snacks are my favorite!! Solves my craving, is filling, and tastes great. All of their snacks that I have tried are really good though…the kids particularly like the bagel chips.

One of the things that I have found with Melba toast is that they make great little sandwiches. Add a piece of turkey and some Swiss cheese between two Melba toast slices and you have a great healthy snack that is super quick and easy to throw together. Old London has some healthy alternative recipes on their site that you can use to change up your meals and snacks with. You can read more about those by visiting :  http://www.toastforeverydayhealth.com/food/

You can also join in on the fun by entering the Aloha Old London Sweepstakes at http://www.facebook.com/OldLondonFoods.  I know I would LOVE a trip to Hawaii, and sure could use a relaxing vacation. The sweepstakes is open from now until June 30th.
