I was thinking about leaving onions out cause my girlfriend hates onions, but maybe those little pearl onions could work. Anyone ever used those?Quote:

I just bought
a 3lb chuck roast
a bag of white pearl onions
a bag of baby carrots
a bag of baby red potatos
mccormick pot roast season
gravy packet
red wine
i also have packets of ranch season which this recipe recommends
http://www.food.com/recipe/to-die-fo...ot-roast-27208
So of all the info ive gathered im gonna try this process, lemme know if im missing something.
1. Season the meat with pot roast seasoning and perhaps ranch season, cut slits in meat and place garlic cloves in meat
2. brown the meat on all sides (based on Stickys recipe http://www.letsgokings.com/bbs/showp...29&postcount=9 and others ive seen)
3. Cut up all veggies and place in bottom of crock pot
4. Place roast over veggies
5. Pour in 1/2 cup water, gravy mix & 1 cup red wine (or would you use 1 cup water, 1/2 cup wine?)
6. Cook on low for 8 hours
Ive also seen recipes use cream of mushroom soup, anyone ever use it?
Feel free to add to the recipe or tell me if im doing anything wrong.
gravy packet?
you're browning first, right? there's your damn gravy packet!
makes sense, most of the recipes ive seen don't brown the meat first and just throw everything in the crock pot.Quote:

Here is a chart that will help you....

For me I make a pre-rub of cayenne pepper, crushed red peppers, paprika, salt, white pepper, garlic powder. As a secret ingredient---get ready>>> fresh coffee grinds! Yea just a pinch. Works great and gives a nice color.
Or you can just cheat and get one of the many great rubs out there. I prefer Ford's Bone Suckin Sauce dry rub (their wet sauces are awesome too). I could that on most anything and it'd taste better.
Browning the meat first is key, adds that extra little bit of flavor.
