To Die for Pot Roast

There is nothing better than a tasty beef roast. Perhaps you had these growing up as a child on Sunday afternoons, or at special holidays. You can make a delicious roast that tastes just like it came from a restaurant, at home. This recipe is so easy to make. You really can use just about any beef roast, I personally like to use chuck roast for this. Add a few extra ingredients that you most likely already have in your pantry, and you can put this roast together easily and quickly. Your family will think that you worked your fingers to the bone on this delicious roast.

What I like about this recipe, is that it is so easy, you can tell your kids, your friends who don’t cook, your husband, anyone can cook this recipe. Fair warning, with using soo many off the shelf products it is a little salty, so add potatoes, carrots, and if you can find any lower sodium substitutions by all means use them.

Sounds like meat plus salt, salt and more salt.

  This recipe is a little salty, but it is also very tasty.

Cooked it for my friend after she had surgery. Her two sisters were staying with her until she recovered. Everyone loved it. Can’t wait to try it on my family.

if seasonings are a problem – make them yours. we’ve used lipton onion soup packet and rubbed a tenderized roast with ground up beef boulion (sp?). season it the way you want it. JUST DON’T ADD LIQUID!

whatever you do DO NOT put water into a slow cooker with the pot roast. put a good amount of chopped potatoes into the bottom, the roast on top followed by the seasonings, let cook as directed. the meat will be more tender without the water – i promise you.

  When do you put those potatoes in? Do you put them in at the begining of when you are cooking the roast?

This couldn’t be easier to make. I will use 3/4 – 1 cup of water next time to help cut the sodium.

Made this yesterday and it WAS delicious. The only negative is the horrendous amount of salt in these packets. I will have to recreate much of this from scratch. I cut up one large russet potato and added some frozen mixed veggies (broccoli, cauliflower and carrots) and cooked these separately to avoid over-cooking in Crockpot. I removed the meat (which was done in 6 hrs) and added the cooked drained veggies to the meat sauce to reheat on high for 15 minutes. All was good but you could taste the high soidum content.

I found this recipe a few years back on another website and it is now the only way I will make a roast in the crockpot…it is wonderful. The only change I made is to substitute the water with a can of beef broth and 1 cup of good red wine…this makes a little more juice for making gravy and in my opinion, only adds to the great flavor. I also throw in 3-4 unpeeled white rose potatoes and a bag of baby peeled carrots. This can be done in the beginning if you’re going to work or a few hours into cooking if you happen to be at home.

  Honestly, this may be too salty for some. I am personally a salt fiend. I have about 6 different types of salt in my house. I don’t believe any one of the prepackaged ingredients have low salt equivalent.

Has anyone seen a recipe on here consisting of the following:
Pot roast in crock pot
seared and stuffed with garlic & bacon
has red wine, onions, potatoes, carrots

I can’t find it anywhere but I’m pretty sure I found it on this site. Thanks much!

How can this sort of thing work for Non Americans? We don’t have those sorts of things in ‘packages’ premade, nor do I know how big a packet is even if I could find some sort of packaged form of it…

  I think the package equivalents would be roughly a 1/4 cup for the Ranch Dressing Mix, and the Brown Gravy mix. For the Italian seasoning mix I would think it may be just about a tablespoon.

I make this all the time & it is WONDERFUL! It was a great taste! I usually cook it in a crockpot with a little more water.
