Easy Pot Roast
Easy Pot Roast. As the Christmas weather begins to settle in I'm ready for easy-to-make comfort foods. One of the simplest ways to make a meal with a lot of flavor, and little hassle, is by using a Crock-Pot. You just put everything into the pot, turn it on and walk away. So easy! My mother regularly made Crock-Pot meals when I was growing up and I have found this is the best way to cook Pot Roast. It makes the meat so juicy and flavorful it just falls apart. Perfect!
INGREDIENTS
Prep Time: 20-min
Crock Pot Time: 6 hours
Serves: 2 to 4
1 yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced
7 large carrots, peeled and cut into thirds
10 red skin potatoes, cut into quarters
4 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper
1.5 to 2-lb beef chuck roast
1/2-cup GF beef broth or water
gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, optional
INSTRUCTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, add the onions, carrots, potatoes, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Toss until the vegetables are well coated with the garlic, salt and pepper.
Layer the bottom of a large crock pot with 1/2 of the vegetables. Place the roast on top and tuck the remaining vegetables around the roast.
Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper and a few dabs of worcestershire sauce. Add 1/2 cup of liquid (broth or water) into the crock pot.
Cover and cook on high for about 6 hours, or until the vegetables are tender and the roast easily pulls apart.
