3/4 tsp pepper
1 pkg lamb bits
Leeks
Carrots (big pieces)
Green beans

Vegetable Roast

3-4 lb rump/arm roast (I just got the Trader Joes Roast it was almost 3lbs)
2 cups Carrots diced small
4-6 White Potatoes diced small
2 Yellow Onions diced small
3 Garlic Cloves chopped
1 green/red bell pepper or 1 Anaheim chile diced small
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

1 1/2 tsp Brown gravy mix
3 TBSP flour
1/4 c. cold water

 Place roast in crock pot, mix the flour, water and brown gravy mix into a thick sauce like paste.  Pour over the meat.  Sprinkle the salt, pepper and garlic over the top of meat and sauce.  Place carrots, potatoes, bell pepper and onion around and on top of meat.

Cook in crock pot over LOW heat for 10 hours.  Once meat is tender about 8 hours, you can shred the meat and stir.  Continue to cook remaining time.

There is NO water or broth in this.  That is OKAY.  The fat from the meat and fluid from the veggies will make this PERFECT!

Latin Chicken - crock pot

3 pound(s) bone-in skin on chicken thighs
2 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon(s) smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon(s) ground allspice
1 cup(s) chicken broth
1/2 cup(s) salsa
3 clove(s) (large) garlic, crushed with press
2 can(s) (15 to 19 ounces each) black beans, rinsed and drained
2 pound(s) sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks (yams are good too, or mix them up)
1 jarred roasted red pepper, cut into strips (1 cup)
1/3 cup(s) loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Lime wedges

Directions
1. Sprinkle chicken thighs with 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Heat 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot; add chicken thighs and cook until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to plate. Remove skillet from heat.
2. In same skillet, combine smoked paprika, allspice, chicken broth, salsa, garlic, and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin.
3. In 6-quart crock pot, combine beans and sweet potatoes. Place chicken on top of potato mixture in slow cooker; pour broth mixture over chicken. Cover slow cooker with lid and cook on low 8 hours or on high 4 hours. Check it periodically as sometimes it finishes a bit quicker.
4. With tongs or slotted spoon, remove chicken pieces to large platter. Gently stir roasted red pepper strips into potato mixture. Spoon mixture over chicken. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Wow! The flavor all those spices give to this dish! I used boneless/skinless thighs and added more red bell peppers.
