Recipe #22: Pot Roast

For a long time I was afraid of the "pot roast". That it would be too dry or that it would break apart to much. I don't know, I just didn't want to try it for fear that it would fail...

Until one day I was given a pot roast and decided I needed to figure out how to make it! So I was browsing allrecipes.com and came across this recipe. With a few tweeks I made it and it was a success. 

Well, I was given another pot roast by my mom and so decided to make it tonight! This is a great crock pot recipe once you put it in there you don't have to think about it again!

You need:

pot roast

6-8 potatoes

6-10 carrots I like to use long ones, you would want a lot more if you are using baby carrots

1 onion

3 beef boullion cubes
1/2 cup water (add more if necessary)

herbs, salt and pepper to taste

Wash veggies, cut potatoes and onion into big chunks. Put some carrots and potatoes on the bottom of the crock pot. Add the roast on top and then put the rest of the veggies around it. Add salt and pepper on top of the roast. I like to add rosemary and oregano as well. Pour water in and add the three boullion cubes.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5...
Wait for the perfect roast to come out, with plenty of juice for a nice little gravy!
(Unfortunately we ate it so quickly I forgot to take a picture.) We ate it with a fresh salad and homemade bread! It was wonderful!
