Crock Pot Crosspost: Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Gone to Pot...Roast

Humpday is devoted to Crock Pot Crossposts. Each Wednesday I'll throw something up on the Buster Blonde blog that's been posted elsewhere on the webbernets AND I'll share a crock pot recipe. It's dinner and a show!

Today's Crosspost:

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: Abusing the Abused

Today's Crock Pot Recipe:

A housewife favorite, traditional pot roast --

Ingredients:

• 3 lb chuck roast (though this recipe will work with a roast as big as 4lbs)
• 1/2 can of beef broth
• 1 cup flour
• 2 cloves garlic (do not serve this dish to any member of the Cullen family...unless you find them as annoying as I do, in which case, please do)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 tbsp olive oil (though I substitute cooking spray)
• Kosher salt (or truffle salt if you reeeeally want to treat yourself right)
• Cracked pepper
• Garlic powder

What to do:

• Wash roast and pat dry
• Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder
• Coat with flour
• Place floured roast in oiled skilled (cast iron if you've got it) and brown ALL sides (this is key, make sure you use tongs and brown those edges too, my dad says so and he's never wrong about food)
• While you're getting a good brown on that roast, add diced onion to the skillet
• Put roast and onions into greased crock pot and add in the whole garlic cloves
• Pour half a can of broth over the roast and add a dash of salt and pepper
• Cook in a crock pot on low for 8 to 10 hours

If you serve this dish with tatoes, the roast leavings make an amazing gravy. It's good on it's own, or you can add a thickening agent for a fuller gravy.

Happy reading and bon app!
