Steps:

• Spray your crock pot with cooking spray
• Place your roast in your 6- quart crock pot (I used my Hamilton Beach Programmable Insulated Slow Cooker.)
• Surround your roast with your potato wedges, onion halves and carrots
• Mix together one of your brown gravy mixes with 1 c cold water
• Pour over your roast and veggies
• Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours (total)
• An hour before serving, mix together your remaining brown gravy mix and 1 c cold water
• Pour over roast and veggies
• Cover again for the last hour of cooking.

MOM'S SLOW COOKER POT ROAST

Steps:

• Cut off excess fat and the silver skin from the roast. Some roasts have more fat than others. I always try to pick the roast with less chunks of fat and more marbling.
• (This step is optional but will help the roast be a lot more flavorful) Heat a pan on the stove over medium high heat. Salt and pepper the roast on all sides liberally. Add oil into the pan. Add in the roast and brown it on each side for about 5 minutes. Remove the roast and place it in the slow cooker.
• Add in the water and Better than Bouillon. Season it with the onion powder, parsley, celery seed, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce.
• Cover and cook on low for 4 hours. Remove the lid and add in the potatoes and carrots. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 more hours.
• Scoop the potatoes, carrots and roast onto a platter and let rest. While the meat is resting make a gravy. Turn the slow cooker to high or the stovetop setting. In a small bowl whisk the melted butter and flour together until completely smooth. Stir a cup of the liquid from the slow cooker into the butter and flour. Whisk until smooth and then stir the whole mixture into the slow cooker. Whisk. The gravy will thicken in a few minutes. Salt and pepper the gravy to taste.
• Slice or shred the roast. Serve the roast, potatoes and carrots with gravy over the top.

CROCKPOT POT ROAST

Steps:

• In a 6 qt or larger crockpot place the vegetables and broth.
• Top with the chuck roast. Season the roast with the pepper and garlic salt.
• Cook, covered, on low 6-8 hours or until meat is tender.
• Remove meat and vegetables. In a small bowl stir together cold water and cornstarch to create a slurry. Whisk it into the remaining juices in the crockpot to thicken. This creates a wonderful gravy/au jus for the pot roast.
• Serve

MOM'S POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Season the meat with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Sear the meat all over, about 2 minutes per each side.
• Move the meat to the side (or remove it from the pot altogether if necessary), add the celery, carrot and onion and brown the vegetables, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook for a minute or 2 longer. Add the wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom. Add the tomatoes, water and bay leaves (and the meat if you removed it). Bring the liquid to a simmer and taste for seasoning. Add more salt if necessary. Cover the pot and bake, basting the meat occasionally, until tender, about 3 hours.
• About 20 minutes before the meat is tender, bring a pot of water to a boil and salt liberally. Add the shells, give it a stir and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta.
• To serve, you can pull the meat apart with a couple of forks right in the pot at the table. Serve with the pasta, plenty of sauce and vegetables, tossing them all together.
