I am always at a loss for dinner ideas so when I have a good one it makes me really happy. Maybe that is why I am so giddy today. Seriously I am in such a good mood!
This is a pretty common recipe but it is what is filling our house with yummy smells today so I thought I would share for those who may not have tried it yet.
Just a run of the mill Pot Roast with the most delicious gravy! Dave hates gravy but he sure likes this! (See bottom of post for my vegetarian comment)
1 roast- whatever fits into your crock pot
carrots- however many you want or will fit in your pot
onions- same as above
potatoes- same
other veggies- different people like different things put in what you want!
1 pkg onion soup/dip mix
one can Cream of Mushroom Soup
some water- the roast will release more liquid too so today I put in about 1 1/2 cups I don't even know if you need to add water I just do.
Coat the roast in flour and brown in a pan with a bit of oil. I do not always do this but I did today. It is apparently what you are supposed to do. I assume it adds to the flavor. Maybe, someone who knows can explain that one better in a comment! (Aunt Char?)
Put all ingredients into Crock Pot. At this point I usually cook as long as time allows. The main thing is to get the meat cooked thoroughly. You can set it on high to cook faster but the flavor is so much better the longer you cook it. Today I did not have 8 hours so I set it on a high setting for 6 hours.
So maybe this recipe isn't the answer to the worlds problems but it is delicious and easy and fast and I don't have to think about dinner again until it is time to put it on the plate!!! YAY ME!
You know I have a lot of Veggies (that is my name for the vegetarians I so dearly love) in my life and I think this would be great sans meat with just a pot full of veggies too. OH YUM! In fact I think I will try it soon! As a side dish OR main course.
