CinStraw's' Notes:

Sandy (a good JAP friend) inspired me to make a pot roast with her '3-Ingredient Pork Roast' she posted (although mine is a '9-Ingredient Beef Roast').

Yes, I used a Beef roast instead.

I went/hurried right out to the store and bought a beef roast, a few carrots, some new potatoes, along with some celery.

Also had to get the cream of mushroom soup and lipton onion soup mix she'd suggested (but I got garlic roasted cream of mushroom soup instead of plain).

Then came home and put it all in my crockpot.

"My way and my Photos"

Directions

I salted, peppered and browned the roast first in a skillet.
Then started it in the crockpot w/the mushroom soup (plus 3/4 can of water), 1-pkt lipton onion soup mix and stuck in a bay leaf.
Started this on the High heat setting.

After it was in about an hour, I put in the carrots an celery, turned the heat down to medium.

Then 4 hours later, I added the potatoes and onion, lowered the heat to low.

Left it on allllll night, the gravy is so thick and the house smelled out of this world all night long.

This morning I removed it from the crockpot and put it all into a large casserole dish, let it cool off, and set it in the refrig.
I will warm it up later to serve.

Sandy......Thanks for the reminder, I needed a Pot Roast fix w/all the trimmings and....this one was such an EZ one to make!!!

P.S Today we had some of it for an early lunch....delicious. There was enough left to share a portion w/my Step Mom, and still have leftovers for us (for a couple of days).

My Hubby wants me to make my 'Beer Bread' to go with it for dinner this evening.
Maybe some thick wide noodles to pour that great gravy over. It made a lot of juice/gravy.

Maybe tomorrow we will have open-face sammies on the 'Beer Bread'...smash the potatoes and put on top, then drown it in the delicious gravy it made.

I love using my crock pot- but the potato never get done- everything else is always done. what's my problem fix. I cut them small and still partially hard. I tried putting them on the bottom then on the top still do not cook through! Thanks for the recipe above.

Thanks for all your comments girls.
Pat...my potatoes were done.
Maybe you could start them first for a couple of hours and then all everything else(??don't know??).

@Pat- you might pop em in the micro before you quarter/cube/etc them. If you are using the new taters, probably only a min or two since they are small. If you are using russets/bakers/etc prob nuke them about 2 or 3 mins a piece- then prep them for the pot with other stuff.

Also did you know that you can 'boil' in the crock pots? I have made rice and noodles in the broth from a meal, using the juice instead of water. You could probably 'boil' your taters as well. Just remove everything but the juice and small yummy bits and of course leave taters in there *smile* turn crock on high, covered and let taters finish alone about 10 mins or less.

Great recipe(s) Cin- look forward to trying it. Diana
