Pot Roast In the Crock Pot

Winter brings out the crock pot or as some people call it, the slow cooker. The crock pot is a dad's best friend. Prior to going to work, you add the ingredients in the morning and have a wonderful dinner when you arrive home from work with the kids. Pot Roast is one of those recipes that my kids and I love on a cold winter's day.

Ingredients

2-4lb Chuck Roast
Red Potatoes (Small) 8-12 depending on size
Small Sweet Onion
Bag of mini carrots
Celery chopped in 2 - 3 inch sections
Tsp Of Flour
Cracked Salt
Cracked Pepper
Tsp of Thyme
Tsp of Oregano or Italian Seasoning
Paprika
Garlic Cloves (2-3)
1/2 cup water
1/4 - 1/2
Tsp of Huo Fong Chili Garlic Paste or comparable product

In a 5 -7 Quart Crock place the roast at the bottom as a base. Top with Cracked Salt and Flour. Surround the roast with vegetables and ingredients. Add the water. Top with Paprika, Chili Paste, and Cracked Pepper. Slow cook on low for 6-8 hours. Keep on warm until ready to serve.

Be sure to stir the vegetables once when you have a brine from the meat. The chili paste needs to be immersed in the brine. The paste adds a wonderful flavor to the meat and vegetables. without being to hot for consumption for the children. This is a quick and easy meal for a cold wintry day.
