Today was Sunday, thus the day of "Roast." I love making roasts because it seems to make my husband a very happy man... and also because it is truly the easiest thing to make IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!! (bee tee dub, you should know that I NEVER EVER exaggerate) On this particular Sunday, we had made plans to combine efforts for lunch with a few of my dear friends. I would provide said roast and asparagus and they would provide the other items needed for a delicious and satisfying southern style Sunday Dinner. So, what did I do? I fell back on the trusted and amazing 3 ingredient pot roast recipe that worked deliciously before. (Link found here) I experimented with various ingredients I had in the house... YIKES!! yup, I was cooking for 4 and I did something daring like that.. But guess what.. They LOVED it :) yay! It turned out awesome and the gravy I made from the juices only required a pinch of salt and corn starch to thicken it.
So here is what I did..
- Pan sear all sides of my 4lb roast with olive oil and onion
- Place in Crock Pot
- Dump in packet of Au Jus mix ( I used the Knorr brand)
- Squeeze half a bottle of Zesty Italian dressing in
- Squeeze half a bottle of Peppercorn Ranch dressing in
- Scoop 2 tsp of beef bouillon in
- Use a spoon to spread it evenly on the roast
- Cook on low for 10 hrs
easy peasy cheesy
We enjoyed this roast with
- Green salad
- Mashed potatoes
- Carrots
- Aparagus
- Bread rolls
- Brownies for dessert
The best part is that with the leftovers I'm making BBQ pulled pork sandwiches. That's awesome.
