Japanese Curry

This recipe has now become a family favorite . While on his mission, Joseph picked up this recipe from a missionary from Japan. Ingredients:
3 chicken breasts or equivalent beef
3 potatoes cubed
1/2 small bag of baby carrots
2 bell peppers julienned
1/2 onion diced
2 boxes of Golden Curry (we use medium hot)
You can find it on the International aisle at Maceys
4 cups water (about)
brown rice

Combine beef or chicken, potatoes, onions, carrots, bell peppers, and really any other vegetable that you want in the crock pot. Pour enough water to barely cover the vegetables. Break apart the curry cubes and place them throughout the mixture.
Just like other crock pot dishes you can cook it according to your schedule: 4, 6, 8 hours. They all work well, but of course the meat is more tender if you cook it on low for a longer time.
When it has an hour left, use a fork to shred the chicken. This batch was a little more liquidy than we like, so we added some flour to thicken it.
You can eat it lots of ways, but we LOVE to eat it over brown rice. We ate some leftovers in tortillas and that was really good too with some cheese sprinkled over it.
Voila! A very tasty dinner that's easy and will give you at least 3 days worth!!! So it's great to make before a string of busy days.
Hopefully, you'll like it as much as we do and your plate will look like this! :) Let us know if you try it and any cool adjustments that you make.

FYI: The Curry packets are almost half the price at Walmart. :) At least they were today!
