Too Hot to Cook ~ The Crockpot Edition

It is no secret I am a crock pot lover.
Love it!



In the hot weather months I use it even more.

I have a miniscule in size kitchen & a huge crockpot. It does NOT heat up my kitchen.



One of Bobster's fav foods in the crockpot is "Roast Beef"



Here is my simple easy recipe.....it's a no brainer.




Place approx 4oz of water in crockpot.

Cut up one clove of garlic, chopped is fine, throw in water.



Place roast in pot ~ partially frozen is ok.



Season roast w/ s&p.

Also cut up another 4 cloves of garlic & place on roast.



Turn on crockpot, low for 8-10 hrs.



About 3 hrs before you are going to eat, add some fresh baby carrots & cut up red potatoes.



Serve!



My goodness, so yummy & so easy~!




Share with me a good crock pot recipe.



Late!

I too love my crockpot! I make all kinds of things in it! I always throw my roast in there right out of the freezer. I like to sprinkle a little garlic and pepper on it cut up some onions and toss in and dump a bottle of bbq sauce on the roast. you can fork shred it and put it on rolls or just serve with a salad or whatever floats your boat. In July I always do a turkey roast in there too! mmmm... I want dinner now!

Oh wow, that does sound good! Take a whole chicken and cook it in the cheapest bottle of champagne that you can find. Add some chopped white onion and a little fresh parsley. Cook about 8 hours. Serve with rice and green beans.
