EASY CROCK POT BEEF ROAST

This is going to be one of the easiest Beef Roast you've ever made. This roast is so tender and delicious, yet so simple to make. The flavor of the pepper rings and juice goes right through the roast, and it is so moist, with a mild taste. I received this recipe from a close friend who works in the meat dept. at a local grocery store. When customers ask for a different way to make a roast, they suggest this. The leftovers make the best sandwiches. Be sure you use the Mild pepper rings, and not the Hot. I wouldn't advise adding potatoes or carrots to this recipe. This is one of my husbands favorite, I hope you like it too.

Nif's Easy Crock Pot Smothered Roast Beef image

A really easy dish to throw together. You can use whatever kind of beef roast you want, or try pork. I have honestly never paid attention to what size roast I have used or measured the onions or Worcestershire, but I think that this is close. I will update it if necessary the next time I make it. Serve over mashed potatoes or pasta to catch the sauce. Enjoy!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 6h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 -4 lbs beef roast
10 ounces condensed cream of mushroom soup, low fat (1 can)
10 ounces mushrooms, drained (1 can)
1 cup onion, diced
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Place roast in crock pot. Mix other ingredients in a separate bowl and pour over the roast.
  • Cook roast on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Add more seasoning if desired after tasting the completed dish.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Roast: Choose a chuck roast or rump roast for optimal tenderness and flavor. These cuts are well-suited for slow cooking and will become fall-apart tender in the crock pot.
  • Browning the Roast: Before placing the roast in the crock pot, sear it briefly in a pan over medium-high heat. This step adds a delicious caramelized crust to the roast and enhances its overall flavor.
  • Seasoning the Roast: Rub the roast generously with a blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. This simple seasoning combination will infuse the roast with classic savory flavors.
  • Adding Vegetables: Enhance the roast with a variety of vegetables. Carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes are classic choices that pair well with beef. You can also add other vegetables like parsnips, turnips, or rutabagas for a more diverse flavor profile.
  • Choosing the Right Liquid: Beef broth or water are both suitable liquids for cooking the roast. If using water, consider adding a bouillon cube or packet to enhance the flavor.
  • Cooking Time: Cook the roast on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. The cooking time will depend on the size of the roast and the desired level of tenderness.
  • Testing for Doneness: To ensure the roast is cooked thoroughly, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 160°F (71°C) for medium, or 170°F (77°C) for well-done.

Conclusion:

With minimal effort, the crock pot beef roast emerges as a tender, flavorful, and comforting dish. The combination of savory seasonings, tender vegetables, and rich cooking liquid creates a satisfying meal that is perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions. Experiment with different seasonings, vegetables, and liquids to discover your favorite variation of this classic slow-cooker recipe. Enjoy the convenience and deliciousness of crock pot cooking with this easy and flavorful beef roast recipe!
