Cooking Thursday


Usually when I make a roast I cook it separately and have potatoes and veggies with it.
Last week I decided to make a pot roast in the crock pot.  It's nice to have it all done with no last minute fuss!

Crock pot Pot Roast

1 beef roast
Kitchen Bouquet or other browning sauce
Small redskin potatoes, cleaned and halved
baby carrots
1 large onion, quartered

Place roast in crockpot  and brush with browning sauce.  Add water to bottom of crock pot, so there is about 1/2 inch in bottom.  Cook on high for 6 hours.
Add potatoes and carrots - quantity of your choice.  Add quartered onion.  Cook on low for 4 hours or until veggies are tender.
Enjoy!

*I often start the roast the day before, cooking it for 2-3 hours.  I then shorten the time a little the next day.    I've found the longer it cooks the more tender the meat, and we like it to fall apart!

  4. Looks good. We cook 80% of everything in the crock pot, especially beef roast and veggies. No mess, and one dish meals are the best.

  8. I love a good pot roast, and one of the reasons I enjoy them in the crockpot is because they get all juicy and tender.

    Now you have me craving pot roast :)
