crock pot roast

Jan 29, 2007 14:56

Hey guys, another question. I've only ever used my crock to make soups. Well, I have a hunk of beef roast in my freezer, and I want to make pot roast. Any advice? Should I cook the meat before I... cook the meat (like browning ground beef)? Should I add liquid? If so, how much? Tips for seasoning would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

roast, beef

I just made pot roast last night in my crock. I sear the meat with garlic and olive oil first, them add it to the crock pot with onions and whatever else, I added water to about halfway up the meat, and 1 packet of brown gravy mix and two packets of onion gravy mix, and we went to the zoo for the day. it came out pretty well, judging by what was left afterwards.....

Recipe as follows:

Take hunk o' beef...place in crock. Pour over top: one can of cream of mushroom soup and half a cup of red wine, mixed together.

Cook on low for 10 hours.

You're done. Seriously.

If you are feeling *really* industrious, add an onion and some peppers and some mushrooms chopped up.

Ridiculously easy recipe:

1 beef roast (you didn't say how big yours was; mine are usually 2.5-3lbs)
1 onion, chopped
1 C tomato juice (not sauce)
Few tablespoons of water (eyeball it)

Cook ~8 hours on low. Falling-apart tender and tasty.

I posted my newfound favorite pot roast recipe a while back. I've made it a few times since then, and continue to be pleased with it. Enjoy!

I believe we always made that by plunking the (defrosted) meat in the crock, pouring a packet of onion soup mix on top, then adding a little water in the bottom. Like... maybe 1/4 inch?
