Beef Roast in the Crock Pot
The meat turned out a little dry, I was very disappointed. Must have cooked it on high too long. Damn.
I served the roast with carrots that cooked with it all day. For sides we had a blend of red skin potatoes with green beans in a rosemary sauce (don't get all excited, it was a frozen blend, some sort of steam friendly brand).
Side note: I am totally okay with frozen helpers to go along with dinner. I loved Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee on the Food Network. She taught me the many uses of a grocery store rotisserie chicken. Bless her heart.
This is Hannah's plate. She loved everything, mind you she is also my least picky child. Wait. Let me rephrase that. Hannah will eat most anything but she has this weird issue with picking her food apart. So saying that she isn't picky isn't accurate. She's very picky. She disects everything. She peels everything. Hannah loved the carrots the most. :)
We had a decent size roast, enough for the five of us with two large slices leftover. No carrots though, they went fast. Next time I won't cook the roast on high for as long as I did, I would do more than one pound of carrots, and I would add the potatoes to the crock pot like I usually do.
Eh, I'm not perfect BUT it was home cooked, everyone liked it, everyone ate it, and it was less expense than eating out. PLUS it was much heathier than take-out food. Bonus! Yay me!


You rock, and I love all of your recipes so far-coming from the pickiest eater ever!
