THE PERFECT CROCK POT ROAST

Steps:

• Spray your crock pot with cooking spray
• Place your roast in your 6- quart crock pot (I used my Hamilton Beach Programmable Insulated Slow Cooker.)
• Surround your roast with your potato wedges, onion halves and carrots
• Mix together one of your brown gravy mixes with 1 c cold water
• Pour over your roast and veggies
• Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours (total)
• An hour before serving, mix together your remaining brown gravy mix and 1 c cold water
• Pour over roast and veggies
• Cover again for the last hour of cooking.

CROCK POT ROAST

Steps:

• Pat roast completely dry. Combine seasoning ingredients and massage it onto all sides of the roast, followed by the flour.
• Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shiny and heated, add the roast and sear on each side for 2-3 minutes, until a brown crust has developed. Decrease heat slightly if needed during cooking. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Whisk together the gravy ingredients and add some of it to the skillet that you used to sear the roast. Use a silicone spatula to "clean" the bottom and sides of the skillet, this will give the gravy more flavor. Transfer it to the slow cooker along with the remaining gravy, followed by the pot roast and any juices from the plate.
• Cut the potatoes in half or thirds of equal size. (If 1-2 inch potatoes, you can leave them whole.)
• Peel the carrots and slice them into halves or thirds. Very thick carrots can also be sliced in half lengthwise.
• Arrange the potatoes around the roast and top with carrots. Place the lid securely on top and resist the temptation to open it during cooking as you'll lose a lot of heat.
• Cook on high for 5-6 hours or on low for 8-10 hours.
• Carefully remove the carrots, potatoes, and the roast and set on a serving platter. Tent with foil.

SLOW COOKER POT ROAST

Steps:

• Sprinkle the roast all over with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Coat in flour and shake off any excess. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the roast to the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes, turning as needed. Transfer the roast to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker, along with the carrots, celery, onions and garlic.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet over medium heat. Add the tomato paste and stir until the oil begins to turn brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the flour and wine and whisk until thick (it's OK if there are some lumps). Add the beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, allspice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and bring to a simmer, whisking, until the gravy is smooth and thickens slightly, about 4 minutes.
• Pour the gravy into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. The roast and vegetables should be tender.
• Remove the roast and let rest for a few minutes. Discard the thyme stems and strain the vegetables, reserving the gravy. Toss the vegetables with half the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Stir the remaining parsley into the gravy and season with salt and pepper. Slice the roast against the grain. Serve the meat and vegetables on a platter, moistening them with some of the gravy; serve the remaining gravy on the side.

SLOW COOKER POT ROAST

Steps:

• Spray the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray. Spread the onion slices out into the bottom of the cooker.
• Spread the flour out onto a work surface. Sprinkle the chuck roast with salt and black pepper, and roll the roast in the flour to coat all sides. Using the edge of a small, sturdy plate, pound the flour into the meat. Place the floured roast into the cooker on top of the onions. Whisk together beef gravy mix, ranch dressing mix, and Italian dressing mix in a bowl, and whisk the mixes with water until smooth. Pour over the chuck roast. Distribute carrots around the meat.
• Cover the cooker, set to Low, and cook until the roast is tender and the gravy has thickened, about 8 hours.

• You can cut a diamond pattern first if you want, and stick one clove into the center of the diamond.
• Place each ham into a Ziploc bag and freeze until ready to use.
• If desired, defrost one ham the night before you wish to make it (I will often make it right from frozen, but most people argue that this is not safe).
• Place 4 tbsp of honey over one ham before cooking and cook on high for about 3 hours or on low for 6 hours, Increase cooking time if making from frozen.

EASY CROCK POT ITALIAN TURKEY BREAST - OAMC

Steps:

• Thaw turkey breast in refrigerator. Remaining prep can be done the night before cooking.
• Wash breast and pat dry.
• Set breast on cutting board, meaty side up. (Use dishtowels to help hold turkey breast upright, or get someone to hold it for you.).
• Working from the bottom (pointy) end, use the handle of a wooden spoon or your fingers to separate skin from meat. Do not remove skin. When you are finished, skin should be attached around all sides but loose over the main portion of the breast.
• Using your fingers or a spoon, sprinkle the dry Italian dressing mix underneath the skin onto the breast meat. Try for relatively even coverage, but don't obsess! The flavor will be well-absorbed throughout the breast.
• Massage the skin to grind the seasoning mix into the meat as much as possible.
• Using a meat fork, pierce the breast (through the skin) many times.
• If prepping the night before, wrap breast and refrigerate. Otherwise, proceed to next step.
• Rub olive or canola oil over skin of breast, massaging well.
• Pour water and vinegar into crock pot.
• Place turkey breast skin-side down in crock pot. If necessary, bend or break ribs in order to get lid on tightly. Do not use foil to hold breast upright, as the vinegar will react with the foil. If you have to position breast on its side, see step 13.
• Cook on low setting for 8-10 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of breast registers at least 190°F.
• If you had to position the breast on its side, turn breast over once halfway through cooking time OR for several minutes after cooking has finished, so that the top side can marinate in the juices.
• Slice or shred and serve hot with your favorite side dish. Alternatively, cool and shred meat, freezing portions for later use (my favorite use for this recipe!).
