@Rachael, I love making pot roast whenever I get the chance because it’s so easy for me. Here’s a tip for you if you want the meat to be really tender. I use a can of beer in the crock pot. The beer tenderizes the meat and makes it so smooth like butter LOL. Any light beer will do but I traditionally use Grolsch.

I have one of those slow cookers with a timer setting. I’ve used it for years, and have often wished I had the one without the timer, because the food always cooks more than it used to in the plain type. Anyway, I had never made a pot roast and decided to give one a try, unfortunatley most of it was quite dry. Being a frugal person myself I froze it until I was able to come up with something else to do with it. I like morphing my leftovers into other meals, so this gave me an opportunity to improve the dry roast. I decided to make a gravy and cook it in a pie crust. We had eaten all the delicious veggies the first night so I steamed some chopped carrots, green beans, cubed potatoes, etc.. and mixed it in with the meat (cubed), put it in a pie crust with a light gravy and voila: delicious family-size pot pie! I had enough meat still in the freezer to make another one as well! My boyfriend loved it.

I love the picture of Tivo sitting patiently and hopefully. It’s very a familiar look. My kitten loves to perch on the barstools and watch excitedly as I cook. I love her expressions, especially as she sniffs the scents of strong herbs or flavours. So cute!

I think your site has become my new favorite!

Thanks for the fresh take on crock pots. We primarily use ours as a bread box (it works very well!). But… I will have to try your tips and recipes.

Try ratatouille in a crock pot! I’ve never made a crock pot version, but I’m pretty sure it’d be great.

That looks delicious! Such excellent ideas. Love slow cookers and especially love anything that can be transformed into a wrap/sandwich

Forgot to mention the beans. Beans and barley just tends to add so much body to any crockpot meal.

Tuesday the corned beef, cabbage, carrots, and red potatoes were waiting for me when I got home from work – nice and delicious
