EASY, Yummy Pot Roast

[Am]

I've had good pot roast before but this recipe is just delicious. It came out perfect and is getting printed and put in my recipe box right now.

Ingredients 3 pounds beef roast 6 potatoes 1 1/2 cups baby carrots 1 yellow onion 2 stalks celery 3 cubes beef bouillon 1/2 cup water Directions Cut up potatoes, onions, and celery in to fairly large chunks and place in a slow cooker. Put roast on top of vegetables. Place 3 bouillon cubes randomly on top of roast and pour in water. Cover, and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or High for 4 to 5 hours.

The only changes I made were that I omitted the onion (because we didn't have one) and I let it rest before serving it. I used the "4-5 hours on High" setting.

I got the recipe here. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Easiest...er/Detail.aspx
It will even let you change the recipe according to servings.

Idk what they're called officially. Just regular old brown potatoes. I didn't really measure the potatoes or carrots either. I just sort of put what looked good.

lol I was just wondering cuz I have a very large crock pot but I can't imagine being able to fit 6 full potatoes along with the roast and everything else! I was thinkin maybe some of those small red potatoes if I can find some...

We almost go those but they're just so much more expensive. I just made a layer of potatoes to cover the bottom, then sprinkled baby carrots, and then the celery.

I wish we would have had mushrooms. I think they would have been really good in it.

I'm going to try this. Once DB gets home, I really want to make use of the crock pot.

I also slice about 6 holes in the beef and stick 6 pieces of garlic cloves into each opening. Garlic is AMAZING in pot roast!

I agree I was gonna say the same thing. It looks good but I would add seasoning mostly garlic .
