Perfect Pot Roast (Crock Pot and Oven Method)


Pot Roast....

It is definitely at the top of my "Comfort Foods" list!



  • Cooking a good pot roast usually takes quite a bit of time & work to get it right.
    Then you add the stress & worry of wondering if it will be tough or dry or seasoned correctly, a lot of people just wait until they can go to Grandma's house for Sunday Dinner to enjoy this wonderful meal.

    Today I'm gonna share my secrets to making a Perfect Pot Roast every darn time!
    I'm going to include the instructions for using a crock-pot and oven, it's your choice!

    Ready?

    Here we go!


    Dana's Perfect Pot Roast
    Ingredients 
    1 (4 -5 lb) beef roast, (Whatever cut is your favorite, or on sale)
  • 1 (1 1/4 ounce) package brown gravy mix, dry
  • 1 (1 1/4 ounce) package dried Italian salad dressing mix
  • 1 (1 1/4 ounce) package ranch dressing mix, dry
  • 1 cup water



Directions

Grab your Crock Pot.
or...
Preheat your Oven to 300 degrees f.
And grab a large roasting pan.

1.) Plop your Roast into your Crock-Pot or Roasting Pan.
2.) Mix together all the dry seasoning packets and rub the mixture all over the roast.
3.) Add your water around the roast (NOT on the meat or you'll rinse off seasonings!)
          Crock Pot = add 1/2 cup water 
          Oven = add enough water to submerge the bottom 1/3 of your roast.
4.) Add Your Veggies - (I like to use Baby potatoes, baby carrots, whole mushrooms, 
                                                      Onions and Garlic)
     Don't forget to season your veggies too! salt and pepper is fine, 
       but I often just use one more package of Italian dressing mix sprinkled on them.
         Crock Pot - toss veggie into the crock pot on top of and around your roast. 
         Oven - Wait until your roast cooks for an hour to add veggies, 
                       unless you are using big potatoes and big carrots, 
                       to avoid over-cooking them and ending up with mushy veggies!
              After one hour of your roast cooking, add the veggies arranging and 
              tucking them around all sides of the roast.
5.) Cook Your Pot-Roast!
          Crock Pot - 6-7 hours on low, Or, 2 hours on High then 3 hours on Low 
                (Crock Pot cooking times vary.  My HUGE crock pot cooks slower, so I just leave it on
                     High for about 5 hours and it's perfect.)
             Oven - Cover (foil is fine!) and cook for 3-4 hours at 300 degrees f.
6.) Test the veggies by poking a bigger potato or carrot with a fork...  
          if they are tender, you are ready to eat!
7.) Serve with the yummy juices from your crock pot or pan, 
           (I often thicken it with some flour to make a gravy instead of juice, 
               it's totally up to you!)
8.) Enjoy!

  10. We do 1 easier. We use a Electric Pressure Cooker. We put a minimal amount of water in the bottom, put in a Pork Roast, Ad Onion and Baby Rays Hickory & Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce (Don't be afraid to pour it on thick!!!!) then set it to pressure for at LEAST an hour (I prefer 1 1/2 hours). OMG you don't have to use anything but a fork!!!!We served this to some pretty picky guest one day for our garden party. Lets just say there were NO left overs!!!!

  21. Do you understand there is a 12 word sentence you can say to your partner... that will induce intense emotions of love and impulsive attraction for you deep within his heart?

    That's because deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that triggers a man's impulse to love, please and protect you with all his heart...

    12 Words Who Fuel A Man's Love Instinct

    This impulse is so built-in to a man's mind that it will make him work better than before to take care of you.

    Matter of fact, fueling this dominant impulse is absolutely binding to having the best possible relationship with your man that once you send your man one of these "Secret Signals"...

    ...You'll soon notice him open his soul and heart for you in a way he's never expressed before and he will distinguish you as the one and only woman in the world who has ever truly tempted him.
