    About a year ago my wife found a very easy yet super delicious pot roast recipe called "Mississippi Mud".

    Put pot roast in slow cooker. Put packet of powder ranch mix on top. Put packet of powder Au Jus mix on top. 1 stick of butter on top. 5 pepperoncinis in the pot. Slow cook for 8 hours.

    Sounds good, I'll give it a shot.

    We do just about the same thing but add some black beans, peppers and onions to the mix. I believe my wife also uses canned chicken broth. Sometimes we shred or chunk the chicken for soup and sometimes we do it over rice as you noted. Generally no leftovers.

    I make 10pounds (of meat) Italian Meatballs and put them in freezer bag dinner-sized portions for when I'm on the road and the wife is stuck late at work. My son will eat anything (outside of vegetables) that I make.

    2/3 80% ground beef
    1/3 Italian sausage
    Cup of bread crumbs per 3lbs of meat
    1/2 container of grated parmesean cheese
    1 egg per pound of meat
    Container of Italian seasoning per 10 lbs
    1/2 McCormicks Montreal Steak seasoning
    Salt
    Pepper

    Mix it all, then put 1/2 bread crumbs/1/2 grated parm in a medium bowl and the rest of the McCormicks steak seasoning.

    1 1/2inch meatballs that get rolled in the above. Bake them in the oven till the centers are 170F. (Kids eat cooked meat). I cook them at like 425F in a cake pan with a silicone matt on the bottom that is pyramids. You can also use muffin pans.

    Cool them on a rack. Ziploc'em and enjoy for the next 3-4 months.

    Cut them in half to nuke them. Add sauce and spaghetti. Even my MIL is a fan.

    Not saying they are gourmet, but more that my kids like them, it makes my wife's life easier and it's funny to watch my kids get older and they still call them "Daddy Meatballs".

    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.

    What you will need:

    1 Pound FRESH (Peeled and deveined cooked shrip)
    1 batch of Green Onion
    1 Jar of Chopped Garlic in Oil
    2 Sticks of REAL Butter
    1 Bag of Parmesian Cheese (No Green Can)
    1 Lemon or Lemon Juice
    1 Bottle White Zinfandel

    First, tail and rinse the shrimp in cold water.

    Second, Chop green onions.

    Third, in a skillet over low-medium heat (3 of 10) add both sticks of butter, chopped green onions, 1-2 tablespoons of garlic and lemon juice. Let it simmer.

    If you want sweet scampi you have it, if you prefer it a bit dry add a shot or two of white zin.

    When it begins to simmer, add shrimp and a thin layer of parmesian cheese. Remember, the shrimp is ALREADY cooked, you are only heating it. DO NOT OVERCOOK IT. As soon as the parmesian melts, turn each individual shrimp and recover with more cheese.

    When the new cheese layer melts, you are done.

    Serve in a pool of butter/garlic sauce.

    Another option is to serve over angel hair pasta. A useful trick and will make it seem like more food. Hopefully you know how to boil pasta and have it ready prior to the shrimp. Drain it and stir in a shot of olive oil to keep it from getting sticky.

    I like that and I’m going to try it, but I’m a true garlic lover and every scampi recipe that I’ve ever tried that I really liked started with marinating uncooked shrimp for an hour in a little olive oil, a little salt, and 3-4 grated garlic cloves. Those are the shrimp I’m going to use for your recipe.
