CrockPot Roast

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

I must say I love pot roast - especially the carrots. Normally I cook it two ways: the oven at 450 or on the stove top in a big pot. Since it is summertime (tomorrow, officially) the thought of all that heat in the kitchen is reprehensible. So out comes the crockpot.

Even though there is 1 1/2 of us (my wife eats half as much as me) I make a lot of it because it still tastes delicious after a few days and it relieves me from cooking. It doesn’t get any easier than this:

CrockPot Roast Recipe

Into the crockpot set on high (4 hrs) or low (8 hrs)

6 carrots, peeled and sliced
4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 pound chuck roast, 1 inch cubes, trimmed of fat
1/3 cup water

Cooking on high tends to get a few veggies stuck to the side of the crockpot - at least on mine which is 20 years old.
