New recipe I tried last night. The only thing I didn't like about it was the crescent roll crust. I didn't like the sweet flavor it gave it. Next time, I think I will try just using a tortilla or two for the crust. Or maybe a premade pizza crust.
1 package taco seasoning mix
1 to 1.5 pounds ground chuck (I can never find 1 pound pkgs anymore)
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup sliced black olives (optional - didn't include; Husband doesn't like them)
1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls (see note above)
2 cups crushed Fritos corn chips
1 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (I used monterey jack & cheddar mix)
In a large fry pan, brown the ground chuck. Drain. Stir in seasoning mix, water, and olives. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Separate crescent dough into 8 triangles. Place triangles in an ungreased 10-inch pie pan (I used the Pampered Chef 9x9 square baker), pressing to form a crust. Sprinkle 1 cup corn chips over the bottom of crust. Spoon meat mixture over corn chips. Spread sour cream over meat mixture. Cover with cheese. Sprinkle remaining corn chips over the top.
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
Based on this recipe from allrecipes.com, with minor changes.

Grilled Ribeye Steak
Marinate steak in Kraft Free Zesty Italian salad dressing in refrigerator overnight or for several hours.
About a half hour before cooking, while the grill is heating up, remove steak from refrigerator and season to taste with Montreal Steak Seasoning.
Tell your husband to grill it to medium rare (or use a thermometer fork and cook it to your liking).

Crockpot Roast Beef
---Crockpot Roast Beef---
1 beef chuck roast
1 envelope Adolph's Marinade in Minutes tenderizing meat marinade
1 family size can cream of mushroom soup
1 Tbsp. corn starch
1 Tbsp. cold water
Place roast in crockpot and pierce deeply with fork on each side. Mix marinade according to package directions and pour over roast. Turn to coat. Spread soup over roast.
Cook on low all day or overnight (8-10 hours), until roast is so tender it's falling apart. I like to turn it occasionally if I'm home to keep the top from drying out (yeah I know you aren't supposed to open the lid on a crockpot - but I *always* do).
Gravy: Remove roast from crockpot. Spoon liquid from crockpot into sauce pan. Mix corn starch and water, then add to sauce pan and mix well. Bring to boil and then boil one minute, stirring constantly. Serve with roast beef and mashed potatoes. [or just pour the liquid in the crockpot straight over the beef and potatoes - it tastes just as good!]
For variety, make a Hot Roast Beef Sandwich: Place roast beef between two slices of fresh white bread. Cut sandwich in half diagonally and spread apart on plate. Place a spoonful of mashed potatoes between the two halves and cover everything with gravy.
The key to the best roast is finding good meat. Look in a local butcher shop or meat market instead of the grocery store. In Charleston, try Johnny's Meat Market at the Capitol Market. In the Elkins area, you can't beat Campbell's Market in Beverly.
