Crock Pot ROAST - AMAZING! Jannette Basham


3-4 lb rump/arm roast (I got Trader Joe's roast of course YUM!)
2 cups Carrots diced small
4-6 White Potatoes diced small
2 Yellow Onions diced small
3 Garlic Cloves chopped
1 green/red bell pepper or 1 Anaheim chile diced small
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 Pkg Mushrooms (optional)

1 1/2 tsp Brown gravy mix
3 TBSP flour
1/4 c. cold water

 Place roast in crock pot, mix the flour, water and brown gravy mix into a thick sauce like paste.  Pour over the meat.  Sprinkle the salt, pepper and garlic over the top of meat and sauce.  Place carrots, potatoes, bell pepper and onion around and on top of meat.

Cook in crock pot over LOW heat for 10 hours.  Once meat is tender about 8 hours, you can shred the meat and stir.  Continue to cook remaining time.

There is NO water or broth in this.  That is OKAY.  The fat from the meat and fluid from the veggies will make this PERFECT!

I served this with a side of cooked squash/zucchini and a blue corn tortilla. To mix it up another day you can add black beans and/or corn.

Paste/sauce on top with salt and pepper and garlic:

Onion, potato and carrots around it:
