Night comes earlier
The temperature drops
Fall is in the air
With summer fading and fall picking up the slack, I pulled the CrockPot out of the cabinet above the refrigerator for a test run.
I went to the store, picked out a roast, threw in some of the vegetables from our weekly Angelic Organics CSA veggie box, and added a few spices. As the day progressed, the condo filled with an amazing aroma.
Ted and Jared joined us as we broke bread, savored the feast and enjoyed some wonderful conversation.
Fall Roast
- One roast (beef or pork)
- Vegetables cut into large chunks (potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, etc.)
- Spices to taste (garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, etc.)
Chop the vegetables and place in the bottom of the CrockPot. Depending on how lean your roast is, add a 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup water.
Place some olive oil in a pan and brown the roast over medium heat.
Place the browned roast over the bed of vegetables.
Set the CrockPot on low and cook for 8-10 hours (4-6 hours on high)
About an hour before it is finished, add additional spices if desired.
