For tonight's dinner, we are having pot roast with cheesecake brownies for dessert!
I used the crockpot, so I could set and forget it, LOL
While most pot roasts call for chuck, I got most of the ingredients when looking through a weight watcher's cookbook, so I used top round boneless beef roast. I also learned a secret when cooking meats for a while. Searing them adds flavor!
I also realized how much I love my wooden spoon! It doesn't scratch the pans, nor will it melt from the heat!
I got the cheesecake brownie recipe from The Joy of Cooking cookbook. I mostly use store brand items except for the chocolate. I use the Gheradelli semi sweet chocolate bars. What I noticed is that sometime between the publication of the book and now, the amount in certain cooking things has decreased, so I had to use a little math. For instance, the recipe asks for 6 ounces of chocolate, however the chocolate comes in 4 ounce bars. Same thing with the cream cheese, it asks for 12 ounces, but the cream cheese comes in 8 ounces. Not too much, just used 1.5 bars of chocolate and cream cheese.
