My man, being a pot roast lover felt excited seeing the crock pot in my shopping cart. He must have\u00a0hoped that I would make the pot roast soon. Couple of times, I&#8217;d made Mexican chili in that, other than that I haven&#8217;t bothered the crock pot much. It sat abandoned in the laundry room cabinet.<\/p>\n<p>Last weekend, while cleaning the laundry room, I took the crock pot out of the cabinet and placed it on my kitchen countertop. Finally, that poor thing got to breathe some fresh air. I dusted and gave\u00a0it a good wash. I felt really terrible for abandoning it for so long and made up my mind to put that into use. I couldn&#8217;t think of anything but pot roast.<\/p>\n<p>Pot roast is a classic American dish,\u00a0and is made at most houses at least once a month. Everyone&#8217;s\u00a0favorite part about making pot roast is that we just have to throw all the ingredients into the crock pot, turn the heat to low and just walk away. Absolutely not an attention seeker hence should be left alone, let the crock pot do the magic. For that reason, this has become one of the favorite dishes of busy working\u00a0people.<\/p>\n<p>In the morning, before you go to work put everything in the crock pot, turn the heat to low and by the time you are home the pot roast will be perfectly cooked. If the heat is kept low, it has to be cooked for 8 hours and at high heat 6 hours is good enough.<\/p>\n<p>I cooked at high heat so it was slow cooked for 6 hours, after 6 hours the meat was extremely tender and it was falling apart. My man couldn&#8217;t be any happier and enjoyed the pot roast with so much enthusiasm.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19339\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/pot-roast-beef.jpg\" alt=\"pot roast beef\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/pot-roast-beef.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/pot-roast-beef-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/pot-roast-beef-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparation Pictures<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Layering the veggies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19341\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/making-beef-pot-roast.jpg\" alt=\"making beef pot roast\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/making-beef-pot-roast.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/making-beef-pot-roast-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/making-beef-pot-roast-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Place the seasoned beef on the veggies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19342\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/making-pot-roast.jpg\" alt=\"making pot roast\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/making-pot-roast.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/making-pot-roast-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/making-pot-roast-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>After 6 hours of slow cooking at low heat, pot roast is ready<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19340\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/beef-pot-roast.jpg\" alt=\"beef pot roast\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/beef-pot-roast.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/beef-pot-roast-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" data-rating=\"#rating#\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/pot-roast-recipe.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Easy Pot Roast Recipe- Beef Pot Roast<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Main<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">American<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT10M\">10 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT6H\">6 hours<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT6H10M\">6 hours 10 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">6 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Beef, chuck roast or sirloin tip roast- 2 lbs or 1 Kg<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Garlic paste- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ground pepper<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Corn starch- 1 tbsp combined in 1 tbsp chicken stock<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Carrots, cut into thick wedges- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Onion, cut into chunks- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Celery, diced- 2 stalk<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Small potatoes- 15 (no need to cut them)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Tomato paste- 3 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Worcestershire sauce- 2 tbsp (optional)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chicken stock or beef stock- 3\/4 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Thyme or Rosemary- 2 sprigs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">You could either use chuck roast or sirloin tip roast for making pot roast.
