Billy’s Coming to Dinner Crock Pot London Broil

Posted on by

Tim’s brother Billy was suppose to come to dinner. So I decided to make London Broil. But the A/C died yesterday morning. So using the oven was out of the question. So I decided to create a Crock Pot recipe. It was hot as the devil in the house yesterday. No matter how many fans I had going nothing helped. I decided about 10 am that cooking was out of the question. So experimenting began.

Billy called about 4:30 pm and said he couldn’t make it for dinner. I was alittle ticked but figured it was better for him not to come just incase the London Broil was awful and as hot as it was in the house there was no need for him to suffer in the heat along with Tim and I.

I was really surprised that dinner turned out great. So I decided to share the recipes with ya’ll. Hope you enjoy it.
