Put a pack of boneless ribs in crockpot. Add two cups of beef broth. Also three tbsps minced garlic and a tbsp minced onion. And whatever else makes you happy. Cook for eight hours. Mmmmmmmm.

I love this thread, but I usually feel like my meals are too boring to write out, so I just don't. But whatever, tonight we had boring burgers, oven roasted potatoes, and green beans.

That's not boring! Sounds super yummy! I love seeing what side dishes people put with things, because I get so stuck in a rut with my meals.

Sounds delicious! I have some ribs in my freezer per my 15 yo's request. I need to make those soon! This sounds like an easy recipe.

Not boring at all! PLUS even boring meals get triple bonuses if you include pictures.

And I agree with the sides. I love seeing the different sides that people serve. Gives me great ideas!

Sushi date for us last night!!!!

Dh and I went for a motorcycle ride with some of his friends from work, to another town and out for dinner, then back through the country roadsides. It was a fantastic night.

At dinner I had steak sushi. Seared New York Strip steak, roasted red pepper, green onion. So delicious.

Your meals always look fabulous, so for a second there I thought you made that sushi and were really raising the GCM bar

! Looks SO good! Glad you had a fun night out!

I can only WISH! That'd be awesome! Tho I may eat it too often if I could make it.

I thought the same thing, and it didn't surprise me at all!

Love date night.

Hot hot hot here today so a self proclaimed heat ban of anything inside the house!

So we grilled. BBQ chicken thighs, grilled veggies, raw veggies and dip. Herb potatoes cooked in the crock pot.

I would! I thought about potatoes on the grill but wasn't sure how long they'd take to get soft enough.

charla · 08-05-2016, 07:43 AM

I've used this recipe with some adjustments. I use my regular gas grill on low heat and it takes about 45 minutes, sometimes less. I keep checking. The main thing to remember is to make sure your oven proof dish is strong; I don't know if you remember my glass dish explosion from a few weeks ago.

I love Yukon gold potatoes for this recipe and I leave out the lemon or lime because I don't like those flavors with potatoes.

My mom does potatoes and veggies in foil packets on the grill. She usually just dices the potatoes, but will parboil them sometimes. I think she tosses everything with olive oil and vinegar, usually balsamic, salt and pepper. It's really yummy, easy to clean up, and nothing falls between the grates into the fire. You could always add a little liquid (broth, etc.) to the packets to ensure some steam; they would cook faster.

That's a great point. I've done that on a grate over the campfire multiple times.

Never thought to translate that to the grill.
