Easy Peezy Crock Pot Roast

Yet again, I have allowed myself to get behind in my blogging.  So I am going to try to get two recipes in one week this time.  We'll see.

Anyway, tonight's fairly short blog is for what I consider the easiest and best crock pot roast I have ever fixed.  Now, this will only work for the person who is not home all day long.

Place one frozen roast in the crock pot.  Yep, right out of the freezer.
Pour one can of Campbell's Beef Broth over the roast.  Sprinkle one packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix (your favorite recipe flavor) over the roast.


Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours.  My crock pot is the programmable type, where it switches to Warm after the timer is finished.  That may have contributed to the greatness of the flavor, but this was the best roast I have ever fixed!  Since we are trying to reduce carbs along with calories, I did not add any veggies.  However, you could just pile them on at the beginning and they will probably be good and mushy after 9 hours.

The finished product photo does not convey the yummy smell in my kitchen when I got home, but trust me, this was falling off the bone goodness.

What type of roast was used:  In these photos, I used a chuck roast.  At a different time, I used a sirloin tip roast.  We get our beef from my dad, so whatever cuts the butcher gives us, that is what we work with.  Good ol' Tennessee farm raised beef!
