We are all busy these days, and most of us wish we had a chef on staff at home, I know I do. Well, since that currently is not in my cards, the next closest thing is a crock pot. I love my crock pot. I think I love the fact of putting food in it before I leave for work, and coming home and the house smelling amazing. I cook for a living, so cooking after work is not my idea of a good time. It's easy to use and safe to leave all day.
I have been trying some different foods at Aldi. The prices are way more affordable, and I have found some new favorites.
About a week ago, I was slowly cruising the aisles at my local Aldi and I found this Tyson slow cooker kit featuring pork roast with vegetables. The package says the weight is 2lb 12 oz.
It looked really tasty and I think it was about $8. The kit came
with a small pork roast, onions, potatoes, carrots, celery and a seasoning packet.
I put it in my crock pot in the morning and in about 8 hrs it was perfect. I did cut the onion and potatoes up into bite size pieces.
My house smelled amazing by dinner time.
I added some "love" as I call it, aka seasoning because I wanted some more garlic and onion powder.
So, would I buy it again? Yes, definitely! Because it was affordable but, also delicious. It really isn't enough for many people but, I only fed two on this meal and it was plenty.
I don't think you could buy each of the items in the kit separately for $8, so that is why I think it is a good deal.
Do you shop at Aldi?
Share in the comments some of your favorite Aldi finds.
Cheers!
