Black Friday - Crockpot Roast Meal

Black Friday – Crockpot Roast Meal

In anticipation of my annual black Friday EARLY morning shopping trip I decided to save my crockpot roast until now – and thankfully I did! After waking up before 4AM and being ready for lunch by 8AM this was the perfect meal to come home to! I loved coming home to a meal completed and ready to serve! I do not currently own a crockpot but after learning how quick and easy meals can be with one it has now made it to the top of my Christmas list!

The crockpot is one of the easiest appliances for beginning cooks (or any cook), all you have to do is fill it and turn it on. Hours later you can come home to a house filled with wonderful smells and dinner ready!

Meal = C (carbohydrate) + P (Protein) + V (vegetable). Portion = each category, the size of your fist.

4.       Peel and chop vegetables (as many as you like) – place around roast

5.       Add salt and pepper, garlic or other preferred seasonings

6.       Add water – fill ½ full (most of roast and vegetables will be covered)
