We had one of these threads on the other board so I thought why not.
I am sitting here typing this at a little after three in the morning and just finished getting everything into the crock pot for a nice old fashioned Pot Roast.
I know it's not fancy but, well.....I'm not exactly a fancy guy. Although I love all kinds of food, gourmet included, Pot Roast was something I never tried because when I did have a crock-pot I didn't know the first thing about this dish and when I did know about it.....we didn't have a crock-pot. So a few weeks ago I was telling Jeff that we needed to pick one up so we could try those new frozen crock-pot dinners that come with everything....only when I went to pick them up, they didn't look like much so I also picked up a boneless chuck roast.
The crock-pot is the larger type and at first I thought it was too big. However for all the vegetables plus the nearly 3 pd roast it was just right. I did add a little more veggies than what the recipe called for and added a little extra water so I am opting for 12 hours instead of 10.
In the old days the only reason we had a crock pot was as a warmer. I don't think we ever cooked in it at all. I remember using it to take something to work for a pot luck lunch once. It was my Aunt's recipe for home made ravioli. I remember because after it warmed and I took the lid off went to serve someone....I left for 15 minutes, came back and they were all gone. I didn't get any and I spent hours making those damn things and now i can't remember how to make them.
I'll shoot a pic when it's done.
