CROCK POT CAJUN POT ROAST
In the late 1960's I got this from a small Restaurant outside of Houma Louisiana. I remember I "oiled" the cook's vocal cords with a lot of cold Jax Beer to finesse the recipe out of him. About the only thing I've changed is re figuring it for the crock pot.

Tips:
- Use a good quality roast: Chuck roast or rump roast are both excellent choices for this recipe.
- Sear the roast before cooking: Searing the roast helps to develop flavor and lock in the juices.
- Use a flavorful cooking liquid: Beef broth, chicken broth, or even water can be used. However, adding some additional flavorings, such as garlic, onion, celery, carrots, or bay leaves, will help to create a more flavorful pot roast.
- Cook the roast on low heat for a long time: This will help to tenderize the meat and make it fall apart easily.
- Make the maque choux while the roast is cooking: This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the pot roast and maque choux over rice or mashed potatoes: This will help to soak up the delicious juices.
