CAJUN POT ROAST FOR THE CROCK POT
For a truly Cajun meal, serve this with cooked okra, but I'm not quite that Cajun so we just have this with green beans or another vegetable. Makes great sandwiches for left overs and can be frozen for 3 months with the sauce.

CROCK POT CAJUN POT ROAST
In the late 1960's I got this from a small Restaurant outside of Houma Louisiana. I remember I "oiled" the cook's vocal cords with a lot of cold Jax Beer to finesse the recipe out of him. About the only thing I've changed is re figuring it for the crock pot.

Tips:
- Sear the roast before slow cooking: This will help to develop a rich, flavorful crust on the roast.
- Use a variety of spices: Cajun seasoning is a blend of spices that typically includes paprika, garlic, onion, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. You can also add other spices to your taste, such as cumin, oregano, or thyme.
- Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Make sure there is enough space in the slow cooker for the roast to cook evenly.
- Cook on low for 8-10 hours: This will allow the roast to become tender and fall apart.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables are all great options.
