spice blend, your choice (we bought a mix that had paprika, garlic, onion powder, and cumin)
salt/pepper, to sprinkle on roast if its not in your spice blend already or you want more
Chuck Roast
pound of carrots
2 onions (I used one sweet and one yellow. use whatever kind you like)
lots of garlic cloves
you can toss in potatoes too if you want, I did not for the roast pictured
Super easy instructions
Rinse roast and pat dry
Brush olive oil on the roast so the seasoning sticks
sprinkle salt, pepper, and seasoning blend on all sides of the roast
Cut onions into large pieces (cut in half, then quarter)
Peel carrots and cut into inch long pieces
- optional potatoes should be cut into large pieces -
Put all the veggies and some garlic cloves into the crock pot with the 1/4 cup of beef broth. Place roast on top of veggies, and more garlic cloves on top. Set for 6 hours and walk away.
We used the steam in the bag frozen brussel sprouts for this meal. It's quarantine ... making it to the store for fresh veggies is less frequent. But since we're used to cooking our veggies, after they were half microwave steamed we put them in a saucepan with butter, garlic powder, a bit of lemon juice, and salt for about 10 minutes. So if you like Brussels sprouts, you should try it ... with fresh or frozen!
