Prep order
Do these in order to shorten the weeknights.
- Start dinner 2 in the morning. The pork roast cooks on LOW for 8 to 9 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours.
- Buy the ground beef for dinners 1 and 5 together, 3 1/2 lb in all, and mix the chipotle crema for dinner 4 ahead of time. It takes 90 seconds and keeps in the fridge.
- Mince the garlic for dinners 1, 2, 3 and 4 in one session and chop the onions for dinners 1, 2 and 4 together.
