MY REALLY GOOD BEEF ROAST (CROCK POT)
I don't think I've ever made crock pot roast the same twice but this one was really good so I decided I would post it so I could remember it next time. Few ingredients for an easy supper. Makes an excellent au jus or gravy.

- Add 1/2 cup water around roast.
- Add quartered potatoes around roast.
- Sprinkle ranch mix over roast and potatoes.

- Change setting to low for 2 more hours.
- Slice roast on serving platter, surround with veggies.
- Serve gravy or au jus on the side.
- *Any cut of roast would probably work, but this is a good, lean cut that doesn't require trimming and also slices nicely. A larger roast may also be used.
- *Cooking: You can also add the carrots after step 7 and cook on low for 6-8 hours total. The carrots will just be a little softer than the other method.

Tips:
- Choose the right slow cooker: Select a slow cooker that is large enough to accommodate your ingredients comfortably. A 3-quart slow cooker is suitable for small households, while a 6-quart slow cooker is ideal for larger families or entertaining.
- Prepare your ingredients: Before placing the ingredients in the slow cooker, make sure to clean and cut them appropriately. For vegetables, cut them into uniform pieces so they cook evenly. Browning meat or poultry beforehand adds extra flavor to the dish.
- Layer ingredients: Arrange the ingredients in the slow cooker in layers, starting with denser root vegetables at the bottom and more delicate vegetables or meat on top. This ensures even cooking and prevents overcooking.
- Add liquid: Most slow cooker recipes require some liquid, such as water, broth, or tomato sauce. The amount of liquid needed will depend on the recipe and the ingredients used. Generally, add enough liquid to cover the ingredients by about 1 inch.
- Season and spice: Don't forget to season your dish with salt, pepper, and other herbs or spices. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor. Be mindful of the amount of salt you add, as the flavors will concentrate during the slow cooking process.
- Cook on low and slow: The key to successful slow cooking is patience. Most recipes take at least 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high. Cooking on low for a longer period results in more tender meat and flavorful dishes.
Conclusion:
Slow cooking is a convenient and versatile method that allows you to create delicious and hearty meals with minimal effort. By following these tips and choosing from the wide variety of slow cooker recipes available, you can enjoy flavorful and nutritious dishes that are perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions. Experiment with different ingredients, flavors, and cooking times to discover your favorite slow cooker recipes.
