Easter Dinner 2010



Easter Dinner menu

Pot Roast
Mashed Potatoes and gravy
Green Bean and Mushroom Medley
Peach Crunch Cake

I made this pot roast dinner a couple of years ago for Easter. I really like the recipe and have made it again and again and decided to make it again this Easter. Mashed potatoes and gravy always go well with a pot roast. We needed some veggies to go with our meal, so I searched on the internet and found this Green Bean and Mushroom Medley on allrecipes.com. I found a easy dessert to make on Bakerella's website, Peach Crunch Cake. Not only was it easy to make it was soo yummy. Definitely a keeper and to be made again.

Green Bean and Mushroom Medley
From allrecipes.com



1/2 pound fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch lengths
2 carrots, cut into thick strips
1/4 cup butter
1 onion, sliced
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Directions

1. Place green beans and carrots in 1 inch of boiling water. Cover, and cook until tender but still firm. Drain.

2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onions and mushrooms until almost tender. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 3 minutes. Stir in green beans, carrots, salt, seasoned salt, garlic salt, and white pepper. Cover, and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat.
