Recipe - Crockpot Pot Roast

OK guys... This one is very simple and one of my favorite meals. Jus finished eating a big ol plate full and I'm stuffed!


Crockpot Pot Roast

3-4 Lbs Chuck Roast
7 or 8 Red Potatoes
1 Onion
5 or 6 Garlic Cloves
Carrots - Small Bag, already peeled
Mushrooms - Small container already sliced
Salt
Pepper


Wash the red potatoes and cut them in half. Place them in the crockpot first. Next put a handful of the carrots in the crockpot.

Peel the cloves of garlic and using a sharp knife cut a slit for each clove spread evenly in the roast. Insert a clove of garlic in each slit. Salt and pepper the roast on both sides and place it in the crockpot.

Peel the onion and cut it into quarters. Spread the onion on top of the roast. Wash the mushrooms and place then on top of the roast with the onions.

Turn the crockpot on low and cook for about 9 or 10 hours. Don't lift the lid and peek. This will only release heat and lengthen the cook time.

As far as the gravy goes, I have no clue of how to make brown gravy. I will get the recipe from my wife and post it later.

Hint - When cooking in the crockpot, I always use the "slow cooker liners". It makes cleanup so much easier and quicker! They are by the foil and plastic wrap in the grocery store.
