Cooking Pot Roast doesn’t have to be complicated.  I have a super easy recipe for cooking a moist and tender pot roast using your crock-pot.  I love that my whole family loves it and that it cooks while I do other things through out the day. This is why I fall back on my Crock-pot Roast Recipe.

Basic Home Cooking

I’m not a fancy cook.  Cooking isn’t my favourite task around the house.  On the odd occasion I get excited and try something new, but for the most part we’re a basic meals kinda family.  Thankfully my family is good with that.  One thing that we love though, is Crock Pot Roast.

We have been known to buy 1/2 a cow from friends of ours and filled the freezer with enough beef to last us 6-12 months.  When you get 1/2 a cow you have all these choices in your freezer.  When I buy meat at the grocery store I tend to skip over the pricier cuts and only opt for ground beef.

Having a freezer full of choices makes for a much more creative cook!  We are down to our last few cuts of beef and last week it was Roast.

My go to with Roast is garlic and black pepper.  I love garlic, specifically fresh garlic.  Fresh garlic can really take a dish from good to GREAT!

Drop in, season and walk away

What I love about crock-pot cooking is that I can dump in food, turn on and then walk away.  I am that Mom that will realize it’s 5 o’clock and there is nothing thawed for supper.  So I love that the crock-pot makes me look good!

In the morning I pulled out this roast from the freezer and set it into my crock-pot and turned it on low.  This method works great right from frozen.  I prefer to start my roasts no later than 9 am.  This allows plenty of time for the roast to slowly cook on low from 9 am till 6 pm when we eat supper.

Halfway through the day you will start to smell the most wonderful aroma of the roast.  It will be amazing!  I served this with mashed potatoes and green peas.  I chose to use the meat juice and make gravy, but you can also set the meat juice on the table for dipping.
