How to Cook Crockpot Pot Roast

December 22nd, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

A  crockpot pot roast is a wonderful thing. If you’ve been afraid of cooking a large roast, a slow cooker is the way to go. This slow cooker  roast recipe contains simple ingredients and is oh so easy with a sprinkling of Cajun Cooking. As I write this, yesterday it was like 80 degrees and summer like temperatures in December. Right now, it’s dropping into the 20’s. A pot roast with vegetables and mashed potatoes is a perfect way to warm up on a cold night. If you’re looking for an easy crock pot roast recipe that’s sure to impress, you’ll love this one!

Ingredients for a Crockpot Pot Roast:

Large Beef Roast (3-4 pounds)
6-8 garlic cloves (cut in half)
2 cups Cajun Trinity
2-3 Turnip Roots (peeled and quartered)
1 – 1 pound bag baby carrots
1-2 cups water
Tony’s Creole Seasoning
Garlic Powder
Canola or Olive Oil

Preheat slow cooker and drizzle in 2-3 tablespoons oil.

On a platter, cut slits in the roast and slide in garlic cloves all over the roast. Push deep down in the meat. Sprinkle the roast all over with Tony’s Creole Seasoning and Garlic Powder.

Place the roast in the slow cooker. Add in Cajun Trinity, turnip roots, baby carrots and any other seasoning you like. Add 1-2 cups water.

Cover and let cook for 8-10 hours.

Serving Suggestions for your Crockpot Roast:

Remove from slow cooker and slice for sandwiches or cut into chunks for eating with mashed potatoes and gravy. Enjoy!

    The song that is our theme song and featured all through this video is called “I Can’t Believe You’re in Love with Me” by Hot Jazz Caravan. This group is a jazz ensemble that I found searching for usable music. Go to archive.org and search the groups name. You can download one song or all. There are over 20 great songs. Enjoy!

    I’m learning to cook, so have pity please: I do not have a slow cooker – but I have a crock pot. Are they the same? If so, if I’m going to cook for 8 hours – do I put the crock pot on low? It only has two settings – high and low. I was told not to pre-heat a crock pot. Should I just go buy a slow cooker? I ask becauase I want to really learn how to cook Cajun food and if you need a slow cooker a lot I’ll go buy one. And if I do, what is the best size (for two adults). THANKS!!!!

    Hi! We’re going to try this recipe for tomorrow night’s dinner. We have a prime rib roast so I hope it works! It looks pretty easy to follow so I will definitely let you know how it turns out! Now I just hope my husband can find the Tony’s seasoning at Walmart! Thank you for all the great videos!
