I personally like an old fashioned roast. I have a nice shortcut for this and it’s called “Grandma’s Sunday Roast” seasoning from Homemade Gourmet. This seasoning has tons of flavor and I just sprinkle it right over my roast.

I also frequently use vension roast, but this recipe will work with any type of roast. Here’s the crock pot roast recipe I use at our house. A large crock pot will work best for this recipe, in fact, a 6 or 7 quart crock pot would be perfect.

Crock Pot Roast

what you need:

2-3lb roast (you can use venison, or beef)
1 large yellow/white onion
5 cloves garlic
2 tbsp Grandma’s Sunday Roast Seasoning
1C beef stock or water
baby carrots
potatoes
what you do:

1. Place your roast in the crock pot ~ frozen is fine.

2. Slice onions and lay them on top of the roast.

3. Slice potatoes into the size you like (remember the smaller you cut them the more quickly they will cook)

4. Add potatoes and carrots around the outside of your roast.

5. Mix your seasoning with the stock or water and pour over veggies and roast. (make sure your roast is in at least an inch of liquid ~ this will depend on the size of your roast and crock pot. If 1c is not enough to make that amount, simply add more)

6. Cook on low for 6-10 hours.

Tip: If you like green beans with your roast add them in the last 30 minutes of cooking.

This crock pot roast recipe will yield plenty for a family of 4. You may even have leftovers for sandwhiches tomorrow.  If you don’t have access to Grandma’s Sunday Roast Seasoning you can create a mixture of garlic powder, italian seasoning, and a little chili powder. It’s not exactly the same, but it will do in a pinch.
