Hello and welcome to our site solsarin. In this post we will talk about “Crock Pot Roast with Potatoes and Carrots”.
Pot roast is a classic, comfort food that almost everyone enjoys.
In all of my years as a home cook, I’ve just recently started making a good pot roast, and the secret is all in the Crock Pot you use!
This recipe works because it’s:
Peel and slice 5-6 small potatoes into even-sized chunks. Slice 1 onion into rings.
Layer the potato chunks, 1 pound of baby carrots, and the onion rings in a 6-8 quart Crock Pot. (Read article How do you mince an onion to learn how to chop onions)
Season a 3-4 pound roast with 1½ teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Brown both sides of the roast for 3-4 minutes.
Place the roast on top of the vegetables in the Crock Pot and pour 1½ cups of beef broth over everything.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours until the meat is falling apart and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the meat and vegetables to a platter to rest and cover with foil.
Remove 1 cup of the liquid from the Crock Pot and strain out any large pieces of meat or vegetables.
Add 1 packet of brown gravy to a small saucepan and slowly whisk in the beef broth.
Cook the gravy on medium heat until it comes to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 minute adding more water if it is too thick.
Serve the hot gravy with the roast and vegetables.
Here’s the simple steps you’ll follow to make this Roast Meal (scroll down for the full recipe):
However, I cooked mine all night and when my son came up for breakfast, he said “I prefer the smell of bacon for breakfast”! Ha ha. That night he liked the smell of the roast, and he liked eating it even better.
Searing meat is a technique used in which the surface of the meat is cooked at high temperature until a browned crust forms.
So let me ask you how are your new years goals coming along? It seems like the time goes so fast that there hasn’t even been time to think of goals.
So this is the week. I need to at least start on some new goals. Get back to exercising and eating just a little bit healthier. I will just watch out for extra sweets like I ate too many of during the holidays. I couldn’t let all that yummy stuff the neighbors gave me go to waste!!!
But now it is time to get back into shape and enjoy some good healthy foods. I do need to make some pan sugar cookies though. One of my friends that is 82 years old told me that she loved making sugar cookies, but that they were too much work.
The best beef for pot roast is chuck roast, rump roast, and beef eye round roast We use chuck roast for our recipe.
Celery, potatoes, onions, and carrots cook right in the pot with our slow cooker beef and gravy. You can use red or Yukon gold potatoes.
If you use baby carrots, make sure they’re thick enough to hold up to slow cooking. Or add them at the 2-hour mark. Otherwise, you’ll wind up with mushy carrots.
I use both depending on what I have on hand. I like to use garlic powder because of how easy it is, but if you’d like you can also use fresh garlic. Cook it with the onions just as you would with the powder and use about the same amount (4 cloves or so if mincing it yourself).
If you don’t have a crock pot or wish to use your oven then you can easily cook this dish in a dutch oven. Here’s how:
STORE leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. If you have any dripping left, then add some into the storage container as well to help keep the roast moist.
We use a mixture of cornstarch and broth from the crockpot to thicken the gravy inside the pot and find it thickens the beef gravy perfectly. If you want it a bit thicker, use a little more cornstarch.
Moist and juicy pot roast done in a slow cooker with carrots, onion and potatoes.
Season the roast with salt and pepper to taste. Brown on all sides in a large skillet over high heat, about 4 minutes per side.
Place the roast in the slow cooker and add the soup mix, water, carrots, onion, potatoes, and celery.
Cover and cook on Low setting for 8 to 10 hours.
