Crockpot Pot Roast

I bought a nice big roast, a few cans of cream of mushroom soup and Lipton Onion Soup Mix and some veggies. I was gonna throw it all in the crockpot Tuesday, let it slow cook over night and have some friends over for dinner Wednesday.

Any tips on the pot roast?

 

You having itslife over for dinner?

 

use golden mushroom soup instead. That's some good shit

 

Are you smokin' crack?

 

I was going to make pot roast one time, but gave up after I saw how complicated the recipe was. You've gotta make some kinda concoction by browning flour with something and caramelizing it, etc. fuck it, I just threw the beef into the slo cooker.

 

Fred....

Heat up a pan with a little olive oil and slice some garlic up in it, add some pepper to the oil. Brown your roast first on all sides before putting it in to cook, then put the droppings in with your roast. There shouldn't be much, but it's full of flavor and will help build the flavor. Also don't add any water if you ware putting in the soup. Add salt later.

 

Yup, browning it first is a good idea.

 

i'm drooling right now, thanks

 

some ppl brown the meat first and some dont...i usually do...but would leave the garlic out or it will burn before the meat is seared. you could maybe toss the garlic in for a minute or two after searing.

pot roast on some white bread with mashed taters & gravy and green bean caserole....mmmmmm, cant wait for fall/winter.

 

I almost always brown the meat first. The garlic shouldn't burn unless you have the heat on high.... I usually add some when browning and some later- the garlic that has been 'seared' has a different flavor than garlic added to the liquid later.

I made a stew yesterday- all fresh veggies from the garden- garlic, onions, celery, taters, carrots, green beans, a peeled tomato chopped up and some ears of corn broke into chunks. It musta been good- they ate it all. I don't use canned soups- I added some beef stock I had in the freezer.
