Baby red potatoes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This one is partly for Aysel, our very own Slow Cooker Queen, and partly because fall weather is already arriving in my kingdom, and I have several pounds of cut-up beef in my freezer that could contribute a wonderful scent to my domicile and make my cat Miss Punkin Squawkypants pester the life out of me for a sample.<\/p>\n

Slow Cooker Beef Pot Roast<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/p>\n

1 large sweet onion, cut in half, then cut into thin slices<\/p>\n

3-lb boneless beef bottom round roast<\/p>\n

3 baking potatoes, cut into 1 1\/2- to 2-inch cubes<\/p>\n

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

1 \u00be cups Progresso\u2122 beef flavored broth (from 32-oz carton)<\/p>\n

1 package (1 oz) onion soup mix (from 2-oz box)<\/p>\n

\u00bc cup Gold Medal\u2122 all-purpose flour<\/p>\n

To Cook this Beef:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, place the cut-up onion on the bottom. If the beef roast comes in netting or is tied, remove netting or strings. Place the beef on the onion. Place the potatoes and garlic around the beef. In a small bowl, mix 1 \u00bc cups of the broth and the dry soup mix; pour over beef. (Refrigerate remaining broth.)<\/p>\n

N.B.: Sometimes, it’s a worthwhile thing to do to sear the beef first, then put it in the Crockpot. But that’s a personal choice. Also, beef stock has a slightly deeper flavor than beef broth. I don’t think you need to add salt to this, because the dry onion soup mix should have enough of that in the mix. Also, I’d add celery and baby carrots to this, but that’s just me.\u00a0 I’ve also found that red potatoes hold up to slow cooker methods as well as the russets, so the choice is yours.<\/p>\n

Cover; cook on Low heat setting 9 to 10 hours.<\/p>\n

Remove the beef and vegetables from the cooker and place them on a serving platter. Cover to keep warm.<\/p>\n

In a small bowl, mix the remaining \u00bd cup of broth and the flour; gradually stir this into the juices in the cooker. Increase the heat setting to High<\/u>.<\/p>\n

Cover; cook about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.<\/p>\n

Serve the sauce over beef and vegetables.<\/p>\n

Just close the windows before you start this, or every stray coyote in your AO will show up with a bowl and a spoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
