Crock pot bacon wrapped beef & mashed taters

Crock pot bacon wrapped beef & taters

1 1/2 #'s beef of your choice

1/2 pound maple bacon 

5 potatoes 

1/2 stalk celery

1/2 red onion

1/2 yellow onion

1 bottle ale

1 bottle sweet bourbon 

1 bottle honey teriyaki 

1 tablespoon garlic 

Top off pot with water (took me about 2 cups, or use another bottle of beer!)

Mashed taters:

1/2 stick butter

1 jalapeño

1/4 cup Gruyere Swiss diced 

Salt

Pepper

1/4 - 1/2 cup broth 

1/4 cup ranch dressing 

Prep veggies, chop celery & onions in chunks and potatoes in half. Prep meat, wrap beef in bacon. Add liquids. put everything in crock pot. ( I overnighted entire crock pot in fridge to pull and put on before work in am) 

When you pull crock pot from fridge and put it on cold add to your cook time. I cooked this from 5am-6pm. 13 hours!! 

It was so great! 

Next pull out the potatoe halves out. 

Set aside and let them keep warm. 

Strain meat and save broth as stock!!

( I got 2 quarts!)

Pull apart beef-onion-bacon-celery mixturewith two forks and cover to keep warm while you make some mash

Dice up jalapeño and collect all ingredients together in bowl for mashed taters 

Use whisk and whip to mash! 

Add broth as needed to thin out. (Also excellent as gravy / au jus) 

Now eat! 

I ate the pulled beef on a butter challah slice open faced with plenty of broth soaked into the bread!
