1 (1-oz.) packet of McCormick Au Jus Gravy dry mix
½ c. red wine or chicken broth
Salt, red/black pepper, garlic powder
Wondra or flour or cornstarch for thickening
Green onions, chopped, garnish
Instructions
If the stuffed fryer is not seasoned on the outside, season with salt, red/black pepper, garlic powder. Usually when you buy these stuffed fryers, they are pre-seasoned.
In the bottom of crock pot, place the chopped onion, bell pepper, garlic and mushrooms.
In a bowl, combine the soup, Ro-Tel, steak sauce and gravy mix with wine.
Pour this mixture into crock pot and mix with onion mixture.
Place the whole fryer into the crock pot and spoon the mixture over the fryer.
Place on HIGH for 4-6 hours. If you put on LOW, it will go longer, probably 6-8 hours.
When ready to serve, lift out the fryer and spoon about 2 cups of the gravy and mix with 3-4 T. of Wondra or flour or cornstarch. Blend well. When completely blended, pour back into gravy and it will thicken up the rest of the gravy.
You can place fryer back in and put on LOW until ready to serve.
When ready to serve, garnish with chopped green onions. Remove netting on fryer if there is one, slice the fryer and serve with mashed potatoes, rice or noodles.
Notes
*****These fryers can come with a variety of stuffings. Try different ones. They are all very good. You usually find these at specialty meat markets.
