Hi - just wondering how you cook your pot roast and do you add any ingredients to it?

long and slow, in a slow cooker. I sear my beef, brown 2 onions, a medley of diced root veges. [ don't overdo the veg, they are there to flavour the gravy ] Put the veg on the bottom of the slow cooker then the meat, a cup of warm water a tsp salt and 1/2 tsp of pepper. You could use wine if you had some needing to be used. Put the lid on and leave for 4 hours, maybe. time is a hard one as the slow cookers differ so much. I take my meat out when it reaches 160 Deg F. using a meat thermometer. I would thicken the gravy, season more if required. I rather like veges cooked by them selves, when I slice meat. A whole rolled beef roast, is perfect done this way.

Mums Apricot Pot Roast - DELICIOUS 1 pot roast,1 tin apricot halves (with juice), 3 tbs butter,salt and pepper,1 chopped onion,2 tbs water,grated lemon rind,1/2 cup beef stock. brown roast in the butter, simmer for 3hours (or put in the crock pot and leave all day) I thicken the gravy left in the pan (if necessary) and use as a gravy. If doing it in a pot you may need to add a little more water after an hour or so. the secret is to cook it very slowly.
