Pot Roast

by Stephanie

Pot roast is not a quick meal. But it’s an economical and hearty way to feed a family with minimal work on your part. While it takes a long time to cook a pot roast, it does not take a long time to prepare one! This recipe will work great in your slow cooker or crockpot, and assuming you have leftovers, it will turn into a great stew!

Crockpot Pot Roast

3-4 lb. chuck roast
1 can french onion soup
1 can golden mushroom soup (this is NOT cream of mushroom soup!)
2 T beef base (beef bullion cubes will work)
1.5 soup can water
1 tsp. chopped garlic
1 whole bay leaf
1 or 2 cubed golden potatoes
2 chopped carrots

Place roast in crockpot. Mix all other ingredients (except salt pepper) in large bowl. Pour over roast. Cover crockpot and cook for about 7 hours on low. Add potatoes and carrots about an hour before serving.

    I love anything with French Onion Soup in it so might give this one a go. I don’t have a crock pot mind you but I do have a Romertopf so I am going to check if it does a similar thing. Nice blog by the way. Hope you can check out my site at http://www.only-cookware.com/.

    [...] Crockpot Cooking by Stephanie I have been sick this week. It’s a bit early in the season yet for that, but it hit me. And made me once again grateful that God created Crockpot cooking. Here’s a slightly complicated recipe that I dearly love. 15 minutes of prep work. 9 hours of cooking. Then a borders-on-gourmet dinner when you get home! This particular recipe involves mostly meat. If you’re like I was, you’ve mainly used your slow cooker for soups, chowder, and chili. But, believe it or not, with the right recipes, you can have just about any dish waiting and ready when you get home at night! Indeed, after you try this pork roast recipe, jump over to this post for a great old-fashioned pot roast recipe! [...]
