Crock-pot Roast Beef

 The recipe that I’m posting about today is my top favorite meal of all time.  The ingredients for it only cost about $12.00 total to make it. This recipe makes makes enough food for at least two meals, and it is one of the best home cooked Southern meals you can find…so what could be better than that!  It’s my favorite meal that my mom used to make as I was growing up and is now my go-to comfort food. While she always makes hers in the oven, I have modified mine to be cooked in the crock-pot due to my busy schedule.  It only takes about ten minutes to assemble all of the ingredients and get them in the crock-pot and ready to be slow cooked.   To make this I only have to use a few ingredients.

For this recipe I used a top round roast, 2 cans cream of chicken soup (plus 2 cans water), 1 packet dried onion soup mix, half a bag of baby carrots, and 8-10 medium sized red potatoes.

To start, I sear my roast in a pan with a little bit of oil. I generally let it sear for about 3 minutes on each side

Once it has seared, I put it in the crock-pot and pour the dried onion soup mix on it. Then I pour the cream of chicken soup and water over. Add the rinsed carrots and potatoes to the crock-pot.

I let it cook for 6-8 hours on low in the crock-pot or until tender and ready to be enjoyed!
