While making food for an army (7 people) I decided to make 2 Slow Cooker Chuck Roasts with Veggies and Multi-grain rolls.
I started by borrowing a friends slow cooker (thanks friend! :)) so that I had 2 large slow cookers to make my roasts.
I put a roast in each slow cooker, added a cup of water, a handful of baby carrots, 4 baking potatoes cut into pieces, and 1/2 a cartoon of mushrooms. I covered this mixture with season salt and garlic powder and set on low for 7 hours.
While this cooked I got the multi-grain rolls out of the freezer to cook pre-dinner so that they were ready when the roasts were.
I bought them and had frozen them until this time. I put them in a cupcake pan, covered with greased plastic wrap and let rise for 4 hours. I then cooked them according to package directions and they were ready to go.
When the roast was finished I served the roast with the veggies that cooked with it and the rolls.
Cost for the Dinner:
2-2lb roasts ($3.33/lb): $13.32
2 Handfuls Baby Carrots: (used 2/3 package): $.66 (on sale)
8 Baking Potatoes: $1.25

Sprinkle of Garlic Powder and Season Salt: $.25
16 Multi-Grain Rolls (bag of 24 for $3.50): $2.33
Total Cost for Dinner: $18.80 (feeding 7 that was $2.69/person)
