I LOVE my slow cooker ... all I have to do is set it up to cook in the morning and dinner will be ready when I get home! Coming home to the smell of dinner is always great. I use it about once a week in the winter.
This time I cooked a chuck roast.
Put the chuck roast in.
Add some baby carrots
Baby carrots are NOT carrots that are young, they are cut up and peeled carrots.
Here is a great little video showing how baby carrots are made:
If you want to know about the "inventor" of baby carrots - here is more than you will ever need to know about baby carrots.
Now, back to the slow cooker ...
Cut up some red potatoes and add them.
Add a cup of water and some salt, pepper, and garlic powder (I put about 1/2 tsp of each).
Put the lid on, set it to low for 8 hours.
Come back after a long long day at work and enjoy! The meat just falls apart.

Looks good - I don't know why but I never thought about adding the garlic powder - will have to give that a shot!
ReplyDeleteYummmm soo good!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the exact meal we had last night! My crockpot is my best friend-there really is nothing like coming home from work and having a great meal (already prepared), and...you just can't beat that aroma when you walk in the house :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks great, and easy! I love my crock pot, I definitely need to use it more!
