So many years since I made this certain type of pot roast that requires cans and packets of prepackaged stuff. I wanted that pot roast. I haven't made it since, seriously, November 2001. Yup, you heard me. The reason why I remember it so vividly is because I made it for my husband before he was my husband. It was the first meal I ever made him. Straight for the stomach I went. Of course, you know the old adage, " a way to a mans heart is through his stomach". Honestly, on our second date I had given him pumpkin muffins. Really, I was not trying to hook the guy, I merely thought he is a bachelor, let me give him something homemade.
Fast forward to the other day, I totally had a hankering for this. I decided to make it again. True confessions I bought a can of mushroom soup. Yes, of course, I could have made it myself but I wasn't in the mood. The rest I did myself.
I will tell you exactly what I did, this way when I want to remake this I will know how to do it.
I served it with some freshly baked loaves of bread. Great for dunking into the juice!
Crock Pot - Pot Roast
3-4 pound pot roast
large can of condensed mushroom soup
4 cups beef broth*
1/2 cup dried minced onions
4 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon of Montreal Steak Seasoning
4 large potatoes, diced
5-7 large carrots, diced ( I like a LOT of carrots in mine)
In crock pot combine mushroom soup, minced onions, garlic and beef broth. Mix well. Place roast in crock pot. Turn on high for 2 hours then add in carrots and potatoes. If you are not going to be home for a normal work day put the roast on a lower setting and add everything in. I like to add my carrots and potatoes later as they become less mushy.
*If you dont have beef broth, beer makes an excellent replacement.
