Dinner Tonight Was...

For dinner tonight I cooked a 2 lb. chuck roast in the crock pot.  The reason it was only 2 lbs. is because I cut it in half and made the other half into vegetable beef soup (see previous post).

I sliced an onion and put it in the bottom of the crockpot.

I put the roast on top of the onions.

I added about 1/2 cup of water.

Seasonings:

Garlic Salt

Rosemary

Salt and Pepper

Add seasonings to your taste and cook for about 3 hours on high.  Then add whole carrots and about 1/2 cup of red wine.  Cook about 3 hours more on low.

When everything was done, I poured about a tablespoon of olive oil in a saucepan on medium heat and stirred in about 2-3 tablespoons of flour.  When this had mixed in good, I poured the liquid from the crock pot in and whisked it well until thickened.  It makes a thin gravy.  Add additional salt and pepper as needed.

I also made mashed potatoes, Le Sueur Peas and iced tea.  My family loved it!

This is how it turned out.
