Super Easy Pot Roast
This is a wonderful recipe because the crock pot does most
of the work. It can be loaded in the
morning and it will be ready for dinner.
Makes for a wonderful comfort meal on cold nights plus extra for
leftovers all week. It can be made with
any kind of vegetable you like and remember to not add anything you don’t like
but more of the ones you do.
Take your cut of meat and season it with whatever you
like. I use a grill rub and paprika. Next sear it on both sides which will only
take a few minutes or if you don’t have time that is fine just skip to put roast in crock pot and add enough water directions.
**(Sear definition: Grease a pan and heat it up so it is hot. Drop the meat in it and
leave it for about 5 minutes until the meat turns brown but watch so it doesn’t
burn. Flip it and do the other side and do the same. This is done to hold in the moisture of the
meat but is not a necessity.)
Put roast in the bottom of the crock pot.
If you seared the meat take the frying pan that you used and
add a little water. Stir it so all the
bits on the bottom have come off the pan and pour it over the Roast in the
crock pot.
Add enough water, bouillon
or some other fluid to cover the meat plus a little more. (Apple
juice would work)
You can then add any or all of the following: potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, Brussels
sprouts, zucchini, peppers, squash or sweet potatoes. If I have forgotten a vegetable you love go
ahead and add it.
Season well with whatever you like, cook on low or high
depending on your slow cooker for 5-7 hours or until the meat is 160 degrees. This super easy Pot Roast is done.
**(I use salt,
pepper, garlic, parsley, basil, cumin, paprika, chili powder, and whatever
looks good at the time.)
