I promised myself that I would post quick, nutritious, and cheap recipes on here that would give a busy artist-mom more time to create.....and I haven't done it yet!!! Aaaah! Sorry about that. But we had an amazing b1g1 sale on roast beef at my grocery store today, and I made the easiest, tastiest pot-roast that we've ever had in this household.
The thing about my recipes is that they're always changing, depending on what's on sale, and what I happen to have around the house. That might be irritating to some of you, but I feel like it makes it easy to adapt to your own family's needs.
Here's the goods:
1 pot roast (whatever size you can get cheap)
1-2 cans of beef broth (depending on size of roast)
potatoes (I use ~6 small)
carrots (I use 1lb)
onion soup mix (I use about 1/3rd an envelope)
Worcestershire Sauce
rosemary to taste
bay leaves
A CROCK POT!
Cut up carrots and potatoes, and line them in the bottom of the crock. Add roast.
Add other ingredients in this order: beef broth, Worcestershire sauce (until it covers roast and veggies), rosemary, onion soup mix, and bay leaves. This way, the wet ingredients won't wash off the spices, and your roast will have all day to absorb them.
Set roast on low, cook for ~6 hours if fresh, ~8 if frozen.
You'll know it's done when it falls apart on a fork. :)
Would you go?
