AWESOME CROCKPOT ROAST WITH GRAVY
I have based this recipe on one that I've used from here several times, Recipe#57130 posted by kcdelong. Even though the original was very good,sometimes you can't help but adding your own special tweaks.:)As usual with any of my recipes,please feel free to change any of the seasonings to your own personal tastes.If you like you can add a 1 pound bag of baby carrots before you add the roast.The time that's listed is based upon my crockpot,so adjust cooking times according to yours.If you would like more color,just slightly brown each side of the roast in a small amount of vegetable oil.Posted to Food.com (a.k.a."

MEXICAN PORK ROAST &/OR CROCKPOT CARNITAS
I was fed this (or something like it) by a fantastic Mexican lady a few months ago. I tried to piece together the recipe based on what she told me (in Spanish) was in it- but she gave me no amounts and no specific directions. My kind of cooking! All the ingredients can be adjusted, to taste. You can marinate this and cook it as a roast, or you can cook it in the crockpot with the marinade. If you start out as a roast, you can just throw leftovers in the crock for carnitas the next day (or freeze it and Crock it weeks later!).

Steps:
- If preparing as a roast:.
- Place roast in a bowl large enough to hold it plus several cups of liquid (marinade).
- Grind/blend together all ingredients (except jalapenos and pork) in a blender, immersion blender, mini chopper, or food processor. When mixed and well-blended, pour over pork. The marinade should almost cover the pork- if it doesn't, add more OJ and milk until it's almost covered.
- Cover and marinate the pork in the fridge for 12-24 hours. Turn every few hours.
- When ready to cook the piggy, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Place pork in a greased (or PAM'd) roasting pan (I sometimes use a roasting rack inside a pan) with the fatty side UP.
- Bake pork at 400 until the top gets crispy and brown.
- Once the top has browned, cover the roast with foil and place back in the oven. Depending on how you like to cook your meat, you could lower the temp slightly for a longer cooking time.
- Baste the roast every 30 minutes or so to help infuse it with deliciousness (optional).
- Cooking time will vary widely depending on the size of your roast. I usually get a 10-lb roast, which takes 2-3 hours usually to cook.
- Once your roast is at your ideal temp (145*-160*), take from the oven.
- If you'd like to serve it as a roast now, let it rest for 15 or 20 minutes and then slice it. It will be fairly tender but should hold together well for slicing.
- Leftovers freeze well! Just throw any leftovers (including the bone) into the crockpot on low with a few sliced jalapenos, shred with 2 forks, and you'll have carnitas! I serve my carnitas with pan-fried corn tortillas, chopped red onion, cilantro, and a lime wedge.
- ***If you're planning on starting this in the crockpot for Carnitas, you will not need to add the whole amount of liquids. This roast is very fatty and will create a lot of its own juice. Pour the marinade in to the crock, leaving 3 or 4 inches clear at the top. Add sliced jalapenos (if desired). Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours until cooked and falling apart. Shred with 2 forks, throw the bone away, and enjoy!***.
SARASOTA'S 7-BONE CROCKPOT COCA-COLA POT ROAST
A classic dish, but I cut back on the cola for my version and add beef broth, tomato sauce and add a few more vegetables for my taste. I am sure there are many versions, but I was asked to post my version - so here it is. Six (6)-8 hours and you have a great all in one meal. Serve this with a good dinner roll and a small salad.

Steps:
- Roast -- This to me is an important step. Season the meat well with a mix of the flour, salt and pepper. Rub it in well on all sides of the meat. Then in a large pan add the oil and heat to medium high. Sear the meat on all sides until you get a nice crust and it begins to brown. Just a minute per side is all you need. This really helps the flavor in this dish. Then add your meat to the crock pot.
- Crockpot -- Add all the vegetables around your roast. I like to put the carrots, parsnips towards the bottom, then the potatoes and mushrooms, and last, add the onions over the top of the roast.
- Sauce -- Mix everything together in a small bowl and pour over the meat and vegetables. Turn your crockpot on low and cook 6-8 hours. Mine was tender in 6, but it really depends on whether you have a round or oval pot, and the newer models tend to cook a bit hotter. So, you know your crockpot best. Before serving, check if you want to add any additional pepper and add in the fresh parsley.
- Serve -- Remove the roast and vegetables and make sure to let the roast set 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with the gravy on the side. ENJOY!
CROCKPOT VENISON ROAST WITH GRAVY

CROCKPOT SLICED CRANBERRY PORK ROAST
Very simple crockpot pork roast in a sweet gravy. When I made this roast I left out the cloves as cloves can become so strong. Also I thought I had cranberry juice but it turned out I had apple/raspberry juice so I used that instead. I didn't thicken the sauce on the stove from a time factor, so I added the cornstarch paste after 4 hours of cooking and cooked the roast for 8 hours. This came from 31 Delicious & Nutritious Crockpot Pork.

GUINNESS CROCKPOT BEEF ROAST & VEGGIES
The deep rich & Robust flavor of this Beef Roast stemmed from the use of the Irish Guinness Draught Beer, combined with the Onion Soup mix, along with the spices. There was no need to sear the meat before it went in the crockpot. I divided the roast into portion size servings before seasoning it, this made it much easier to serve...

Steps:
- 1. NOTE: I used a 6 quart HAMILTON BEACH STAY OR GO Crockpot, and it held my complete recipe. Although I cooked this roast on HIGH and It was ready in 5 hours, you may want to cook it on LOW FOR 8 OR 9 HOURS or longer. THIS CROCKPOT HAS A WARMING FEATURE AND WILL KEEP THE FOOD WARM FOR A LEAST 14 ADDITONAL HOURS AFTER COOKING. This is my favorite crockpot of all the ones that I have, I use this one the most. It was a gift from my daughter Briana in 2009.
- 2. I prefer to cut this cut of meat into serving size portions before COOKING for easier serving.
- 3. Season meat with desired spices and allow to marinate if time permits for an extra boost of flavor, at least an hour or two. I prefer to bring my roast to room temperature before cooking.
- 4. Dredge roast in flour and remember to coat all sides of the meat. Reserve the remaining flour to add to crock pot.
- 5. These are the main ingredients starring in this recipe.
- 6. Prep the veggies for the roast.
- 7. Line the bottom of the crock pot with the vegetables. Then add in the meat portions, onion soup mix, brown sugar, remaining flour, and beer.
- 8. NOTE: I DID STIR THE MEAT AFTER 3 HOURS OF COOKING, BUT IT IS NOT NECCESSARY. THIS IS WHAT THE MEAT & VEGGIES LOOKED LIKE AT THAT TIME.
- 9. Close lid and use directions with your crockpot to cook roast until done. If you are not in a big hurry you may choose the low setting for cooking to cook for a longer period of time. I needed 5 hours on high and my roast was done and the vegetables were tender.
- 10. Serve and enjoy with your favorite sides, because this is a very tasty and comforting meal.

KARLA'S BEEF CHUCK ROAST DINNER (IN A CROCKPOT)
I love making a chuck roast in my slow cooker, its so easy and delicious. Set it up in the morning and dinner is all done at the end of the day. I have done this same recipe in the 350° oven for 4 hrs. (turning meat over once through cooking) and add the vegetables the last 2 hrs. of baking time , its just as great that way...

Steps:
- 1. Place a thawed beef chuck roast into a 4qt. slow cooker and season both sides of the roast with garlic powder and salt & pepper.; Mix the water with the pkg. of dry onion soup mix and pour over top of the roast.
- 2. Place peeled potatoes , whole peeled onions and carrots on top and around the roast. Season the vegetables with salt & pepper if desired.
- 3. Cover the crock-pot with the lid and cook on low temp. for 8 hrs. Note : After the dinner is done before serving you can make a gravy with the juice if desired.
- 4. For perfectly smooth gravy add flour to a jar w/lid containing at least one to 1-1/2 cups of water. How much flour? About two tablespoons per cup of gravy desired. Shake up the jar until the flour becomes part of the liquid. Pour the flour/liquid mixture into the hot pan of juices ( I like to pour mine through a fine mesh sieve ) and cook as usual on stove top, stirring constantly. Season ( I like to add 1 tsp. of kitchen bouquet for coloring and flavor)and stir to keep the gravy moving. Bring to a slow boil and cook at least three minutes until gravy is thickened. Deliciously smooth gravy!
- 5. You can also make the gravy with corn starch. Mix a couple tablespoons with 1/4 cup of water, and then add it to the boiling juice. You will need more or less depending on how much liquid you are thickening -- make a little more than you think you need, and add it to your sauce, stirring constantly. Keep adding the cornstarch mixture until it's "almost but not quite" as thick as you want. It will thicken a little more while it cools.

THROW-TOGETHER CROCKPOT PORK ROAST
Of course it was the name which attracted me to this recipe. That, plus the fact that I had a nice pork butt in the refrigerator. I want to tell you this recipe turned out divinely. I had it for a dinner with mashed potatoes (could also use noodles) to sop up the gravy. I also shredded some of the pork for a lovely warm pork sandwich. This recipe was posted on TOH by Qagal. Besides pork butt you can use pork shoulder in this recipe. Do not use pork loin however; it is too lean and the flavor is just not the same.

Steps:
- 1. Place roast on high heat in crockpot
- 2. Peel, wash, and cut up potatoes and add to the roast.
- 3. Add remaining ingredients and cook for 8 hours on high.
Tips:
- Choosing the Right Cut of Beef: Opt for a chuck roast or a rump roast for optimal tenderness and flavor.
- Searing the Beef: Enhance the roast's flavor by searing it in a skillet before placing it in the crockpot. This creates a delicious crust and seals in the juices.
- Seasoning and Rubs: Experiment with different seasonings and rubs to create a unique flavor profile. Popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
- Adding Vegetables: Elevate your pot roast by incorporating vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes. These veggies add sweetness, texture, and essential nutrients.
- Choosing the Right Liquid: Use beef broth, red wine, or a combination of both for a flavorful braising liquid. The liquid should cover at least half of the roast.
- Slow and Steady Cooking: Allow the pot roast to cook on low heat for 8-10 hours or on high heat for 4-6 hours. This extended cooking time ensures that the meat becomes fall-apart tender.
- Thicken the Sauce: For a thicker and more flavorful sauce, remove the roast from the crockpot and whisk in a cornstarch or flour slurry. Bring the sauce to a simmer until it reaches your desired consistency.
Conclusion:
Indulge in the rich flavors and tender texture of a classic crockpot roast. With careful selection of ingredients, proper seasoning, and slow cooking techniques, you can create a hearty and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion. Whether served as a warm and comforting family dinner or as a centerpiece at a special gathering, this versatile dish is sure to impress. So, gather your ingredients, set your crockpot, and embark on a culinary journey filled with aroma and taste. Bon appétit!
