Cooking for friends

Yesterday we had our friends Mike and Jori over for dinner and a few movies.  By request, I made steak burritos in an awesome, programmable, 6 quart crockpot.  If you don't have one, you should seriously invest.

The recipe is super simple.

Crock pot steak tacos:
1 5-6 lb chuck roast
1 can of tomatoes and chilies (like rotel)
1 packet of taco seasoning

Stuff cooking:















Mix the taco seasoning together with the rotel.  Put the roast in the Crockpot and pour the mixture over the top.  Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-6.  The beauty of this recipe is that if you're using the crockpot with the programmable timer, you can cook it and after the cooking time has elapsed, the crockpot will move to warm and keep the food nice and warm for you.  Pull the roast out of the crock pot and let it rest for 10 minutes.  Shred and enjoy with your favorite toppings.

This is a picture of the meat cold, so it looks a little off.

Then we watched two movies, Live Animals and Pandorum.  Live Animals was a part of a four movie pack for five dollars, so, as you can imagine, it was pretty terrible.  I did fall asleep for the first few minutes of Pandorum, mainly because it was so quiet, but I didn't miss so much that it made the rest of the movie unwatchable.
