Loco Moco Crock Pot London Broil

...with twice baked mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.

Okay, this is easy and Onolicious, brah!

First of all, what is Loco Moco? Well, having grown up in Hawaii, I can tell you that Loco Moco is widely popular with respect to local-kine food. In a nutshell, and without going into too much history, it is one of many dishes that involves a meat (hamburger patty being the most popular), starch (rice), some form of gravy (brown gravy), and a fried egg on top of it all. Why onolicious? ...'caus you mix 'em all together, brah!

Yup, the Loco Moco is the perfect platform for 'The Perfect Bite' as you break the fried egg yoke and mix it with the rest of the yummy ingredients on the plate. Oh, after SCUBA diving, surfing, or boarding, a Loco Moco hits the spot, brah! :) Especially when you get it at Zips (Zippy's) or Rainbow Drive-In. Oh, and who's to say a Shave Ice from Matsumoto's doesn't do the same thing too? Okay, who's getting hungry right now?

Feast you eyes upon this baby. I've tried to make it a bit more healthy (fa reals, brah!) and really easy to make.

Okay, back to the recipe now.

Crock Pot Ingredients:

• 1 package of ranch salad dressing mix
• 1 package of brown gravy mix
• 1 package of Italian salad dressing mix

Place the London Broil in the bottom of the crock pot. Mix the 3 packages above very well with 2 cups of water and pour over the top of the London Broil. Put the crock pot on low and cook for 10 hours.

Once the meat is done, use a couple of forks to shred it within the pot. Now add 2/3 cup of sour cream and salt and pepper to taste.

Twice baked mashed potatoes:

Using you favorite recipe, cook and prepare mashed potatoes. Place a serving in an oven safe, single serving dish and refrigerate.

Steamed vegetables:

I used fresh carrots, frozen peas, and frozen corn. Carrots are steamed for 10 minutes and they come out cooked and still crunchy.

Assemble your Loco Moco London Broil by placing the twice baked mashed potatoes in the center of a plate or pasta bowl, as shown above. Around one side spoon in the shredded London Broil and around the other spoon in the steamed vegetables. Now carefully place the fried egg on top of the twice baked mashed potatoes, so as not to break the yoke.

Serve and enjoy. This is a great dish for "The Perfect Bite" for those of you who get it, if you know what I mean.

So, there you have it! This is my take on an old island favorite from home. I hope you try it sometime and let me know what you think. It's really quite easy to make and great for one of those, "I really don't want to cook" days.
