Easy Beef Roast Slowcooker Recipes
by Leslie Sausage


Beef roast has always been a favorite family meal and it's been on sale lately for under $2.00 per pound. Using my favorite kitchen appliance, a delicious meal can be prepared with a minimum of effort.

Freeze any leftovers in a zipper-seal freezer bag with a little of the "gravy" to prevent freezer burn.
 
Recipes

Family Favorite Slowcooker Roast
Ingredients:
3-5 pound chuck roast, trimmed of extra fat
Mustard, your choice (I like Dijon)
Potatoes, carrots and onions
Onion soup mix (or just a bit of beef bouillon granules)

Directions:
Prepare vegetables and place in the bottom of slowcooker. Rinse roast
and pat dry with paper towel. Smear your favorite mustard all over the
roast. Sprinkle a package of onion mix over top. No extra liquid is
needed. Cook on high about 1 hour, then turn to low for 6-8 hours, until
tender.

I've been making this recipe for more than 20 years. It's a family
favorite!


Simply Salsa Beef Roast
Ingredients:
3-5 pound chuck roast, trimmed of extra fat.
2 cups of your favorite salsa. (I use medium)

Directions:
Rinse roast and pat dry with paper towel. Pour salsa over the top of the
roast. Cook on high about 1 hour, then turn to low for 6-8 hours, until
tender.

Sprinkle a little taco seasoning on top for great flavor. This meat is
great for any Mexican meals such as tacos or enchiladas.


Easiest Roast
Ingredients:
3-5 pound chuck roast, trimmed of extra fat
Potatoes, carrots, onions and celery
Onion soup mix (or just a bit of beef bouillon granules)

Directions:
Peel and cut (large pieces) potatoes, carrots, onions and celery; add
them to the slowcooker. Add your beef roast. For better flavor, brown
roast in a skillet first. Add about 1 cup of water, then sprinkle a
package of onion soup mix. Cook on low 6-8 hours.

Time-saver Tip: Use red-skinned new potatoes (don't need to peel), and
the ready-to-eat carrots.

onions and garlic to slowcooker. Combine remaining ingredients and pour
over roast. Cook on high for about an hour, then turn to low for 6 to 8
hours or until tender. Garnish roast with parsley.
