Monday Meals: Pot Roast

Last week the smallest member of the Wisconsin Test Kitchen requested, "That stew..."

Thanks Sawyer, that narrows it down.

After further questioning, she elaborated it was, "The stew with the beef, and potatoes and carrots in the slow cooker."

Oh- pot roast. Thank goodness for children that request easy dinners. We recently found a new pot roast recipe we fell in love with. The seasoning was great, and the beef ended up super tender. Bonus points for the fact it included a lot of vegetables! Needless to say, it was clean plates all around after dinner last week.

Slow Cooker Pot Roast
Recipe courtesy of: http://www.aspectacledowl.com/slow-cooker-pot-roast-recipe/#_a5y_p=1287971


3lb. Beef of your choice (we went with a boneless chuck roast)
1 10.75oz can of Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 packet of onion soup mix
1 cup of beef stock
1 large onion (sliced)
8oz fresh mushrooms (sliced)
2 cups baby carrots (or sliced whole carrots)

Place beef in slow cooker.
Whisk together garlic powder, onion soup mix, beef stock and cream of mushroom in a bowl
Pour mixture over beef and add all veggies.

Cook on low for 6-7 hours.
This is the perfect recipe to throw together in your slow cooker the night before, turn it on in the morning and come home to a warm, hearty stew. This is one of our new favorite kid tested, family approved meals. We look forward to providing you with more tasty, fall dishes as the leaves turn and the temps start to fall.

Stay Cool,
