Crock Pot Roast
I love crock pot recipes because your entire dinner is in one pot and the task is complete by 10:00 in the morning. It is so liberating at five o'clock to know that the only thing left to do is open a bottle of wine. An added bonus is that your house smells delicious all day. Enjoy.
1 five pound pot roast
2 small yellow onions, cut into one inch pieces
5 carrots, cuts into one inch pieces
1 bag small yellow potatoes, cut into one inch pieces
1 package Lipton Onion Soup Mix
1 cup water
2 tablespoon Olive oil plus spray oil
Salt
Pepper
Flour
In a skillet warm two tablespoons olive oil. Spray each side of pot roast with olive oil, lightly salt and pepper each side, then dredge in flour. Place in skillet and lightly brown each side.
While meat is browning, chop vegetables and place all in the bottom of a crock pot. When meat is done, place on top of vegetables in pot. Sprinkle Onion Soup Mix over the top. Pour water around the vegetables. Cover and cook on low heat for eight hours. You can make this in four or six hours, but the meat will not be as tender.
