Crock Pots & Other Items

Crock pots have come a long way since our parents’ day with programmable settings and a variety of sizes and styles. I have this Crock Pot and love it. With a lot of mouths to feed I have a 7-quart one but make sure you find one that fits your family’s size and, of course, kitchen decor! I went with black because it’s easier to keep clean and it pretty much lives on my counter since I use it at least 1-2 times a week.

The only other item I think is necessary when making roasts in the crock pot is a gravy separator. You’re going to want to separate some of the fat from the gravy. Everything else – pots, pans, spoons, etc. you probably already have!

Crock Pot Roast Recipes

There are so many ways to do a beef roast in your crock pot! From simple to complicated (and I much prefer simple), here are a few of my families favorites!

You can use almost any type of roast in these recipes. I’ve used a sirloin roast, a chuck roast, or an arm roast.

Crock-Pot Smart-Pot 6-Quart Slow Cooker

Ingredients

3 ½ – 4 pound chuck roast I've done this with a variety of roast cuts!
1 packet au jus gravy mix
1 packet ranch seasoning
1 stick butter Salted or unsalted
2-8 pepperoncini peppers Use more or less depending on your heat preference
¼ cup water
1 Tablespoons flour

Instructions

Place the roast inside the crock pot
Sprinkle the dry gravy mix and ranch seasoning packing over the roast
Place stick of butter on top of roast
Add pepperoncini peppers on and around roast. (I like to add a little of the pepperoncini juice from the jar too!)
Add water over everything.
Cook for 6-8 hours on low.
When done, the meat should shred easily. Remove the meat to a tray to shred and use a gravy separator to skim the fat from the gravy.
If you like, use the flour to thicken the gravy on the stove.
Serve over noodles or mashed potatoes with roasted vegetables or a salad.
