Summer is almost here in full force. The day's temperatures are creeping into the nineties and lawn is needing a sprinkle here and there. My hubby calls me the air conditioning gypsy so I am well aware of the heat that summer brings. I love to break out my crock pot during the summer months. It really helps keep the heat down when you don't have to turn on the stove. It is a great advantage when you feel that grilling is just not a option.

What is Slow Cooker Pot Roast?

How do you cook it?

A Pot Roast Recipe is so easy to cook and one of my families favorite meals. It is pretty much a dump and go recipe of beef, vegetables, herbs and spices that are slow cooked in the crock pot or in a dutch oven. When it is finished cooking you can use the juices to make a simple gravy. You can add everything at once or if you don't want your vegetables quite that soft add them 1 1/2 -2 hours before the roast is complete.

What is a dutch oven?

A dutch oven is a large heavy pot with a lid that is suitable for the both the top of the stove and inside the oven. So you simply brown your roast right in the pan on the top of the stove, add all your goodies and put the lid on and pop it in the oven. It is amazing for anything slow cooked; brisket, ribs, chuck roast, pork roast and even soup and chili. The dutch oven is inexpensive and works like a charm.

This Crock Pot Roast Recipe is the ultimate weeknight meal providing the family with a much needed delicious meal after a long day at work or school. In a hurry scrap the mashed potatoes and make it super simple by throwing in chunks of potatoes with the carrots and onions.
