I Stole Karens Toss It In The Crock Pot And Go Roast In Memory Recipes

CLASSIC POT ROAST FOR THE SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, stir together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons broth until smooth. Add remaining broth, tomato paste, potatoes, carrots, onion, and Worcestershire. Season with salt and pepper and toss.
• Season roast with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and rub with garlic. Place on top of vegetables. Cover and cook on high until roast is fork-tender, 5 hours (or 8 hours on low).
• Transfer roast to a cutting board; thinly slice against the grain. Place vegetables in a serving dish; skim fat from pan juices, then pour through a fine-mesh sieve, if desired. Serve roast and vegetables drizzled with juices.

TOSS IT IN THE CROCK POT AND GO ROAST

Steps:

• Toss onions, potatoes and then carrots into crock pot.
• Lay meat on top of that (may have to smoosh it in a little).
• Pour on the soup, soup mix and dab the base on top.
• Turn the meat over and then over again, so that some of the soup goes underneath the meat, but some is still coating it.
• Sprinkle with black pepper.
• Cook on low for about 6 hours or so.
• I have made this a few times and have never had to add water-- the soups and meat juices make a lovely thick gravy.
• I make this in a 6 1/2 quart Rival Slow Cooker-- I know it cooks faster than smaller pots.
