crock pot pot roast
I’ve been trying for years to replicate my late beloved Mom’s pot roast in flavor but in a Crock Pot. I’ve got the cooking down, but the flavor was just a little different than I remember. You know? This is my closest version so far. When it comes to spices and seasonings, experiment with the flavors your family will enjoy, or surprise them a little. Play around with the liquid, like adding wine in place of some of the stock. Add some potatoes a few hours before the meat is done. Your Kitchen = Your Rules. =^..^=

How To Make crock pot pot roast
-
1Start heating up the crockpot on HIGH. Heat a heavy duty or cast iron skillet on medium-high heat while adding salt and pepper to both sides of a chuck roast. Put the cooking oil in the hot skillet and heat up. Brown the beef on all sides & edges, then set aside for now. -
2Add the prepared carrots and onions to the skillet and stir around for a minute or so. Then, pour in about a cup of the stock and stir around the vegetables for another few minutes scraping up any browned meat bits from the bottom of the skillet.
-
3Pour the contents of the skillet into the warmed up Crock Pot. Stir in the rest of the beef stock, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning.
-
4Finally, top the vegetables with the browned roast. Cook on HIGH for 5-6 hours, depending on the size of your roast. Check early in case your crockpot runs hotter. The carrots should be cooked through (or however you like them) and the meat should come apart easily into chunks when done. You can also turn the heat to LOW and cook for 8-10 hours.
