(continued)

Directions: In a small bowl: combine the salt, the pepper, the meat tenderizer and the dried mushroom soup mix.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

Rub both sides of the beef with the seasoning mixture. In a large skillet: heat the cooking oil and sear both sides of the beef. Turn the crock pot to high and add one-half cup of water. Place the seared seasoned beef into the crock pot. Cook for two hours and then add the russet potato chunks. Cook for another hour and add the sliced carrots pre-cooked in a microwave for fifteen minutes. Cook for another hour and check to see if the meat is done and also the vegetables. Let the meat rest for fifteen minutes before slicing. Arrange the sliced roast beef and the vegetables on a platter for serving. Serve with a tossed salad and some dinner rolls.

Christmas Eve has always been celebrated with an early supper before opening the gifts or attending a late night church service. An eye-of-round roast beef has a pocket cut into it and stuffed with a French bread dressing.
