How do you fix a Mississippi pot roast IM?

Put a roast in the pressure cooker with a packet each of au jus and ranch dressing mix and some pepperoncini juice plus a few of the peppers and cook it a while. Broth too but I use water because it’s too salty otherwise. Weird combo but it’s actually delicious. Great on mashed potatoes but I often freeze the extra and serve over toasted buns as sandwiches.

I don’t have everything so I just threw in a couple gravy packets and some water and called it good.

I am trying to prep as much meat and casserole type stuff as possible to keep my cooking down to a minimum during the summer.

Wow Shad, you nailed it. That is beautiful! What kind of cake is that?

Thanks IM. It's a Dundee cake.
It's my second attempt. The first attempt came out better. This one is bit dry.
I've baked lots of stuff like pies in the past but not cakes. I made the family Christmas cake this year and it came out okay. There's so much crap in the supermarket cakes I decided to try making my own.

I fully expected you to say it had some sort of cola in it like Dr Pepper. Your combination sounds better.

You likely didn’t do anything wrong, even the best bakers have bad days. Thanks for the recipe, we’ll have to give that a try. The ingredients sound familiar so perhaps I’ve had it at a potluck or family gathering at some point.

Five pints of chicken breast, decided it was simple enough to babysit a boiling pot and do whatever else needed doing.

I haven’t ever been brave enough to try anything of the sort. People say stuff like that is good but it doesn’t sound like it to me.

Now beer battered onion rings and fish are another story

I've heard of that cola stuff too, but we don't do sweet on meat in our house.

Now the onion rings and fish...that's a definite OK!

Do you remember "Coke a Cola Salad" that was popular back in the seventies? I remember my sil bringing it to all the family gatherings.

I don’t think so I remember this ginger ale salad with gelatin and I liked that but nothing with coke.
