Sometimes the best things in life are free. This time it was a free cooking magazine I recieved in the mail. Cuisine at Home magazine. I was very impressed by the recipes in this free magazine and several of them caught my eye. The first one I wanted to try was the Classic Pot Roast recipe. I recieved a new slow-cooker for the holidays and was dying to try it out. I’ve only made a few pot roasts over the years and haven’t been impressed with them, mostly because they only cook for a few hours in the oven. I’ve found out that to have a truly tender pot roast, it should be slow-cooked all day. So on Sunday morning, I got busy cooking!
Place the vegetables and a few sprigs of thyme and a couple of bay leaves in the slow-cooker on top of the roast and gravy. Take an artsy-fartsy photo of the veggies and herbs if you feel so inclined.
Cover the slow cooker, set to low, then let it cook all day (8 – 9 hours). Relax or bake some Crusty French Rolls to go with your pot roast.
The leftovers make a great sandwich the next day! Warm up some roast beef, put on a roll and drizzle with ketchup. Yum!
*Note: This is not a low-FODMAP recipe
That looks amazing!
