My cookbook fell apart and I hope I made this pot roast correctly..

[Breeze54]

It's a small pot roast (3-4 lbs) and I winged the recipe from memory.

Browned it on high heat in a small amt. of oil (barely covered bottom of pot)

Chopped up two medium yellow onions and threw them in

Scrubbed and rinsed 6 small potato's and threw them in... unskinned

Have frozen baby carrots to add later on...

Seasoned with garlic powder, salt and pepper and added 3 cups of water to cover

I have it simmering...

Is that about right?

1. That sounds like a good one to me!

[Breeze54]

2. lol! I hope it taste's good!

:P

It already smells good! I guess that 'recipe' will work. ;)

I just have the feeling I'm forgetting something....

[Whisp]

3. sounds right.

maybe in future add the veggies after the roast has a good start otherwise they may become mush. I like cooking the snot out of pot roast to make it tender fall apart.
I dunno, I wing everything, never the same recipe.

[Breeze54]

5. I thought about waiting on the potato's too but

it such a small roast that i figured both would be done at the same time.

Maybe I should take them out?

I only started it about 15 minutes ago...

[Whisp]

14. I wouldn't fuss about it. see what happens.

it's all edible tasties whether moosh or not. ;)

4. Sounds great!

What else are you having, like a salad, dessert?
We're doing a prime rib oven roast tonight with acorn squash and green salad and some apple pie/Cinnamon Little pie thingys left over from a restaurant lunch on Friday.
Also watching SICKO.
:hi:

[Breeze54]

7. No salad tonight... but

we have Fudge Brownie Ice Cream for dessert.

I only have 2 eggs left or I'd make brownies from a mix.

I guess I could make them with 2 eggs.

Your dinner sounds great! :hi:

I'm starving and I waited to long to put dinner on. :banghead:

But it should be nice and tender when my son gets home from work at 8:30 PM. ;)

6. Sounds yummy!!

I would have put in some beef boullion
but it sounds like your bases are covered!!!!!

I haven't made a pot roast like that in years....
I have been doing my all day pot roast.....''



ENJOY!!!!!!

9. I'm all out of beef boullion ....

But the meat should make it's own boullion, I think. ;)

I was in a hurry and just using what I have on hand.

I guess I remembered the recipe fairly well then! Good! :D

Maybe I'm missing celery. Oh well....

8. The First 10 Times I Read The OP Subject Line

I read My cookbook fell apart a WHEN I made this pot roast correctly.. like once you made it right your cook book fell apart :P

:spray:
:rofl:
but your pot roast sounds nummy

[Breeze54]

10. LOL! I do that all the time with OP titles!

:rofl:

I think; "What a maroon!" and then

I re-read the title and think; "I'm the maroon!" :rofl:

I hope it's 'yummy'!

Right now, anything would be yummy! I'm starving!! LOL!

:hi:

11. Absolutely the wrong way! (Not that it isn't good, I have a better way)

Put the roast in a crock pot WITH NO WATER. Cook on low all day, throw your veggies in halfway through the cooking process. The roast cooks in its own juices (aka fat) and is delicious.

[matcom]

12. I do it in the crock pot BUT...

pour a jar of prepared horseradish sauce over it when it first goes in. cooks off and is DELISH!

add about 2 cups of good red wine when you toss in the veggies. :9

[Breeze54]

13. Well; I don't have all day and my crockpot is

full of chili! :D

I hear you and if I had remembered earlier, I would have done that but
I was shoveling snow out of my parking space and off my car, so I forgot. ;)

[Blue-Jay]

15. If only there were a pot roast recipe available online...

[Breeze54]

16. Yeah, well I didn't have the time to go look one up.

Is that OK with you?

Lounge lizards are great cooks.

You got a problem with me asking? :shrug:

[Blue-Jay]

17. heh. That makes sense.

[Breeze54]

18. I thought so but I'll try to be more resourceful in the future...

just for you!! :rofl:

:hi:

[lost-in-nj]

19. SO how was it????

I bet it was awesome.....



lost

[Breeze54]

20. LOL! It's still simmering....

It's not ready yet! We're not eating until 8:30 pm or 9 pm...

I'm going to have a little snack of tuna salad stuffed into those new Tostito bite size snack bowls

[Breeze54]

22. You are just about right!

;)

I haven't eaten any yet and I haven't gone to the store yet, although

I do have my boots on but it (the roast) is actually falling off and seems

tender and the potato's are done (only one split open) and I just added the

carrots; so it didn't take long to cook at all. I'm just going to let it simmer

for a little while longer. It actually already made a nice thick gravy too!

Thanks for your advice and humor. :D

[Breeze54]

21. Damn it smells really, really good! - I'm not waiting to eat!

:P

I can't! It just smells to good! :rofl: I have to eat NOW!!!!

Then I'll run to the store before that friggin' storm gets here. :(

[Breeze54]

23. O_M_G! ~ It came out fantastic!

Needed a little salt but otherwise... the meat just fell apart and the potato's held up and
the carrots were just as sweet as can be, as if they were fresh and the gravy was magnificent! :P

All in all, a good meal was had by all! :)
