Do you have a tried and true pot roast recipe?

Hell yeah I do.

Rub roast with some spices, salt and pepper, and wrap that shit in bacon. Cook for like, 6 hours at 225.

Absolutely the best I have ever had. I put potatoes in about an hour before it is done cooking.

My Gram's is still the best I have ever had. I don't know the recipe off hand, but I can ask my mom for you. It is pretty simple, rump roast, potatoes, carrots, and peas. So good.

1 can beef broth, 1 packet onion soup mix in a crock pot. Season the roast with salt and pepper and brown it in a skillet. Put the roast, carrots, potatoes and onions in the crock pot. I'm actually making it tomorrow, I've got my veggies all cut up and ready to go.

If you use the slow cooker you don't need a lot of liquid, just add 1/2 cup or so of beef stock on the bottom

I've never used a cooking liquid. Usually the juice from the bacon kind of absorbs into the roast, and there is always enough drippings left over for yorkshire pudding and gravy.

This is so easy, and fail-proof. And delicious.

put seasoning salt, garlic powder, and fresh ground pepper on the bottom of the crock pot. Put in the pot roast. add more of that seasoning to the top. More is good. Put in a bay leave, and add about a cup or so of beef broth (I make one from a Penzey's beef broth base, but you could just buy it too). Put on the lid, and cook for about 6 hrs on high, or 8 hours on low.

I made this for my ILs the last time they visited. FIL said it was the best pot roast he'd had since his mother's when he was a child (and later called to ask for the recipe). And that the only reason he couldn't say it was better than his mom's was because it was his mom.

You could add carrots, onions and potatoes on top of the roast, but I'm a purist and like to cook the meat in the crock pot with the other stuff on the side.

Lightly dust the roast with flour, salt, and pepper. Brown on all sides in a pan on the stove.

Add the roast to the crock pot on top of carrots, onion, and potatoes.

Add the following to the pan used for browning:

2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 pkg onion soup mix
1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
1/4 red wine
1 cup beef broth

Heat until bubbly, scraping any roast bits from the bottom of the pan.

Pour the broth mixture over the roast. Cook on low for 8 hours.
