Sliders and pasta

This is a 2 recipe meal. The first is the roast sliders. This recipe made a small portion so if you have a lot to feed then I would double the recipe.

3 envelope roast sliders
Roast
Onion soup mix
Italian dressing mix
Brown gravy mix
1 cup water
Combine and cook in slow cooker for 8-10 hours
Shred and put on keiser rolls with Swiss cheese slices

The pasta is creamy garlic pasta. The cheese melted a little funny so I suggest sprinkling the cheese on top rather then adding to the pot.

Creamy garlic pasta
2 tsp oil
4 cloves of garlic minced
2 tbsp butter
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3 cups chicken stock
1/2 lb spaghetti noodles
Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup heavy cream
Bring oil to med low heat and sauté garlic
Mix in butter till melted.
Add salt and pepper and stock. Raise heat to high and boil.
Once boiling add noodles an cook to package directions.
Reduce heat and mix in park cheese( or put on top afterwards)
Turn off heat and stir in heavy cream.
