pot roast - low & slow

Slow Cooker Pot Roast. I love Pot Roast, just tired of the same old >>> add onion soup dry mix, soy sauce....... What you see above is flavorful Chuck Roast served with Corn Pudding and Bodacious Biscuits. If you follow my blog you know you should have Corn Pudding and Bodacious Biscuits in the freezer, ready to heat and serve along with the meat and taters. If by chance you don't, click on the links above. I divided the meat in five servings, put one on my plate for dinner along with some potatoes, carrots and onions. I divided the vegetables and put the Chuck Roast, Potatoes, carrots, onions and juice in quart freezer bags, squeezed the air out, flattened and put them in the freezer. I did share a little with Picasso (me Perro), my dog. I live alone with Picasso, so, almost everything I cook freezes well. A little butter on my Bodacious Biscuits, Aji Sauce on my chuck roast and a little Mambo Sauce for dipping and the vegetables, these recipes are a click away. Ready to do a little sous chef work? After that you come back in 10 hours and eat.
