Does anyone know the recipe for...

[mommy*RN]

Disney Pot Roast? I had it in October at Boatwrights and 50's Primetime Cafe and LOVED it! They both tasted the same so I think it must be a Disney recipe and not a chef special or anything. Specifically I'm looking for the gravy...though the meat was so tender. I hope someone can help me...I've been craving it since we got back and we don't plan to return to WDW for at least 2yrs I can't wait that long to have their Pot Roast!

Thanks for any help/suggestions!

If allearsnet.com doesn't have the recipes you want they will give you disney's email for requesting it. I did this for Le Cellier's shrimp cocktail.

Our trip was GREAT! It was hard coming home...especially when DH is saying stuff like..."Oh we won't be back for at least 5yrs" and "We need to do some work on the house and that is where the money needs to go". What a buzz kill! I'm secretly planning a 2008 trip though. HA!

Here's the recipe for the Pot Roast from 50's Primetime Cafe that I found on allearsnet. I plan to make it Saturday and my SIL is making it on Sunday! I'll let ya know if it is close!

Salt and pepper to taste
7 1/2 c. beef bouillon
1/4 c. olive oil

So glad you had a great time. The recipe sounds yummy. I was supposed to make roast in the crock today, but I'm sick and don't feel like doing much of anything. I'm looking forward to hearing how yours turns out...

I'm secretly planning a 2008 trip though. HA!

I always knew I liked ya!

 

[mommy*RN]

Awww! I'm sorry you are sick! Hope you feel better soon!

How is school going? Not much longer! I'm so excited for you!

I'm almost thinking when the 2008 prices come out I might book using my Disney Visa...then pay on it without DH's knowledge. If he doesn't want to come...FINE! I would go with just the two kids...maybe bring a friend or family member. HEY! What are you guys doing in Oct/Nov of 2008??

Well....I hope you feel better! I'll let you know about my Disney roast!

Okay...so I did the Pot Roast tonight and it was YUMMY. I told my DH I could not accurately compare it with the WDW roast and would need to return there ASAP to do further testing...he didn't fall for it . It was good though and I would recommend it. The worst part was browning it in the olive oil...it was spitting all over the place. I had to cage DD in her highchair as she likes to be in the kitchen with me and I didn't want her getting hit with the hot oil. I will probably do it in a deeper pan next time to allievate that problem. I used just a bit of flour to thicken the gravy and it worked very well. I had enough roast to shred and put in the gravy for some pot roast sandwiches. I will definitely make it again!

I also made the LeCellier mashed potatoes and they were the BEST! The only things I changed with them was I only added 1/2 c of warm milk. That seemed perfect and they weren't watery at all. I also added a bit of garlic for taste. Here is the recipe for them. VERY easy!

Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes

Le Cellier
Canada - World Showcase - Epcot



Yield: 8 portions

Ingredients:

2 pounds Idaho potatoes, peeled
1/8 qt. (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup (8 oz) cream cheese
1 cup warmed milk
1 Tablespoon Kosher salt
black pepper to taste

Method:


1. Boil or steam potatoes until tender.

2. Using a food mill or mixer, incorporate all ingredients and adjust seasonings as necessary.


READER'S NOTE: Watch the milk -- 1 cup made them a bit watery the first time I made these.

Far be it from me to change a Disney recipe. I've tried alot of them, and they're all great. But on this one, if it were me, I'd change the 7 1/2 cups of boullion for Swanson's low sodium beef broth or homemade beef stock. Boullion is way salty and tastes very little like beef IMHO. You can also find another good pot roast recipe Emeril Lagasse's There's a Chef in My Family.

To cut down on oil spattering make sure the roast is bone dry before you brown it in the hot oil. Moisture = spattering. My apologies in advance if you already know this. Then turn on the hood fan and open the windows. Getting a nice crust on the meat will smoke up the whole house. The aroma lingers for days. I usually wake up the morning after pot roast ready to chew my arm off.

I didn't know this...so THANK YOU! I normally cook my roasts in a crock pot and don't brown them prior to doing so. I appreciate the tips! Anything so I can relive the taste of that Disney Pot Roast! I do agree the boullion made everything salty...but the veggies really did remind me of the Disney variety so I am guessing those were salty too. We were there in Oct during the record high temps in the 90's with humidity around 75%...we were sweating enough that the sodium was probably welcome!

Thanks again for your tips!

Thanks! I am burned out on school and cannot wait to graduate, but at the same time, I am terrified that it's almost over LOL This class is over December 12th or sooner (depending on if I exempt the final ) then I have a month off. Then 6 weeks of psych, and then precepting!!! It seems like it's so close when I look at it that way!

I think your Disney Visa plan is a good one hehe I am a bad influence, aren't I? Hmm, Oct/Nov 2008? I'll put it on the calendar (gosh that sounds forever away!)
