Crock-Pot Pot Roast

I got home at a reasonable hour last night! It was early enough to actually exercise and take Murray on a walk, unload the dishwasher, and do a load of clothes (fun stuff I tell ya!). About the time I finished up, Eric got home! Yesterday morning, I threw in a pot roast before work, and it was done by the time I got home. It is one of my favorite childhood meals that my mom used to make often. It is very filling and so tasty. I mean who doesn’t like meat and potatoes?!

I tend to buy all of my meat from Costco. I truly find the best prices there. I especially love their chicken because it comes in a pack of 8, and each pack is divided up into 2-3 chicken breast. Perfect for feeding two. I recently found a duo of chuck beef roast and decided to buy it. I froze one and cooked the other. If you do not have a Costco membership, you should so get one. I filled up with gas there this morning for $1.70 when the BP by my house was $1.99. Side note—does anyone else’s Dad call you to tell you gas prices or just mine? I know a lot of people my age think that they wouldn’t use it, but I buy all my gas there and all my essentials (toilet paper, paper towels, dog treats, water bottles, laundry detergent, etc.). Call me a nerd, but I am all about saving money, and you truly do at Costco. I really am Elizabeth’s daughter!

Ingredients

1- Chuck pot roast

½ packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix

1- 10.7z oz. 98% fat free Cream of Mushroom Soup

½ bag of baby carrots

4- Medium size Red New Potatoes

1 can of water (notes below)

 

Instructions

• Put roast in crockpot.
• Dice potatoes in 1 inch cubes.
• Add Lipton soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, baby carrots and new potatoes.
• Take empty can of mushroom soup and fill it up with water and then add it to the crock pot.
• Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.

*Side note—When cooking is done, my crockpot automatically changes to the keep warm setting after the 8 hours. It is usually done before I get home and switches to keep warm. I would recommend this if you have to set it manually.

Happy Eating!
