- 4 lbs beef chuck roast
- 1 cup beef broth (about half a can)
- 8 gingersnaps, crumbled (about 2/3 cup)
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled & quartered
- 3 medium carrots cut into 1/2-inch pieces or slices.
- 1 bay leaf
I removed the roast and veggies, skimmed the fat, and then thickened the gravy with flour. Next time, I think I'd probably use the full can of beef broth, because there really wasn't a lot of gravy (at least by Justin's standards).
This was a GREAT meal, but very hearty, and a little on the sweet side. I definitely needed a green salad to balance out the meal, but I would definitely make it again. So easy! Give it a try!
Def going to have to try this...sounds good and that my kids will EAT IT! ;-)
ReplyDeletePlus...LOVE ME some crock pot meals!
This sounds amazing! I wonder how I ever overlooked it!
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I wouldn't have thought Ginger snaps! Cool!
ReplyDeleteYour recipe looks great! Another way to modify it is to use grass fed beef when you make pot roast. It is much healthier and adds an entirely new level of flavor to your meal. I work with La Cense Beef which offers consumer access to 100% grass fed beef over the internet.
ReplyDeleteThe pot roast with sweet potatoes and carrots sounds delicious. I only buy beef that are grass fed because they are low in fat .I think it's great utilizing recipes and than redesigning and substituting with grass fed meats. I personally have had a diet of grass fed meats that give me the lean protein I need in my diet along with the necessary omega-3 fatty acids that helped with a healthy weight loss program.If you are looking grass fed pot roast recipes I would recommend checking out the options at LaCense Beef as well. They have some great dishes that that include tasty and juicy recipes. I have enjoyed every dish I have tried. Though I now work for them, they honestly offer some really delicious ideas, as well as some truly tasty grass fed beef that you can order. You can get really great deals during the holidays.
