Slow Cooker Herbed Roast & Gravy

 

Apparently, my husband really digs it when I cook in the slow cooker.  When I served this dinner to him, he said to me, “This may just be my favorite”.  He continued, “What did you do to this roast to make it taste like this?”

I worked my magic of course.  🙂  My…um… magic?  Well, apparently I must have some if I can keep getting my husband to say that the meals I’m making are his favorite.  He’s said that probably 7 times now to 7 different dinners, but who’s counting?  I’m just glad I can make him happy when I feed him so well!  Secretly, I think he just prefers beef, and we don’t eat it nearly as much due to the price (although that will change soon, as we ordered a side of beef).

Would you like to try one of the best slow cooker recipes around?  🙂  I thought so.  Read on to find the recipe.  For the record, the gravy is absolutely optional, but my kids reported that it tasted great on mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 2-3 pound chuck roast

  • 2-3 cups of beef broth
  • 1/4 cup cooking wine
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce  
  • 4 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp rosemary

Instructions

  •  Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper on both sides.

  • Place everything else in the slow cooker, except flour.
  • Cook on low for 7-8 hours.
  • When meat is done, pull it out of the slow cooker along with the onions any any other large pieces.
  • Whisk in some flour to the remaining broth.  Be sure to only add it slowly so it doesn't clump.
  • You may want to taste it and see if it needs salt.  I ended up adding an extra teaspoon to mine.
  • Serve the gravy either over the meat or on mashed potatoes.

  • Place all ingredients except flour in one gallon sized freezer safe bag.
  • Label & Lay flat to freeze.

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
