Thread: Pot Roast in the crock pot

Im planning on doing my first pot roast in a crock pot. Any tips on seasoning the meat or what to put in the crock pot with it. I found some recipes online that i was gonna play with and am thinking of keeping it simple with just potatoes and carrots.

I think I used McKormicks pot roast spice mix and it was kick ass.

It is a scientific fact that you can not put too many whole cloves of garlic in it. Instead of adding water, add beef or chicken broth. Mrs Grass dried soup mix, onion or vegie.

How about red wine? i read on one recipe about adding a half cup of red wine or something along those lines

It is next to impossible to screw up a red meat dish that needs simmering by adding some red wine. Just don't add anything you wouldn't drink with dinner.

This and red wine. It is impossible to screw up a pot roast in slow cooker. Cook it on low. Potatoes and vegetables will absorb juices. Delicious!!!!

Did your girlfriend's Dad catch a pot roast?

just a little salt and pepper and maybe a splash of red wine.


keep it simple!

lots of onions, and garlic
