Before I get started on my post about cooking dinner, a friend of mine sent this quote to me, and I had to post it on here because this is very true:

“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” ~Virginia Woolf

Ok now on to Pot Roast! Nothing is as simple as a crock pot dinner and what better night than Monday night? As I stated in my earlier post, the pot roast I do is a bit different than most because, like Iron Chef America, my secret ingredient is BEER! So lets get to cooking.

Pot Roast

1 beef round roast

1 tomato, sliced thick

4 cloves of garlic, whole minus the paper

1 shallot, chopped

4 celery stocks chopped

1 onion chopped

1 can or bottle of beer (I chose Bud Light-one of America’s finest beers, though a stout may give it even more flavor)

salt and pepper to taste

In the crock pot add beer, tomato, onion, garlic, shallot, salt and pepper.

Now add the roast on top.

Put the lid on and cook on low which I put the setting on for 10 hours.

So when I arrived home from work, all I had to do was cook the rice and make a salad. Here is how I plated the roast on the rice:

There you have it, you can now take the crock pot and use it as a teaser like I do since Jen works from home and she had to smell dinner cooking all day.
