One day, a while back, I ran out of some ingredients I normally used for making my roast. I decided to just "Wing it" and make my roast with somewhat of the same ingredients as I normally make my turkey. It was such a hit! I actually have never gone back to making my roast the old way. There's just nothing better than a roast that's tender, juicy, and completely falling apart. It's the kind of roast that doesn't require a knife!! On top of this delicious hunk of meat, is the gravy that makes you think you've died and gone to heaven. The first question you'll ask yourself when you taste this meal?... Am I in paradise? And the answer is YES! Food Paradise, that is!
Here's how to make a little bit of heaven on your dinner plate:
Roast
1 1/2 T Seasoning Salt
1/2 T Onion Powder
1t Minced Onion (or more if you wish, I just happened to run out)
1/2 T Parsley
2t Black Pepper
Roast (The one I used was 3lbs)
Water
In a crock pot big enough to fit your roast, put the roast, seasoning salt, onion powder, minced onion, parsley, and black pepper. Add water until it completely covers the top of your roast. That's it!
Cook on high for 8-10 hours on high.
Note: I normally do just 8 hours, but every now and then we'll get caught somewhere unable to come home on time. I added the "to Ten" hours because the roast is still amazing and not dried out at that time. So don't fret if something prevents you from getting to it at 8 hours.
Lazy Gravy
** Do not start making this until AFTER the roast is done!
Juice/Water from the Roast
Flour
After your roast is done , ladle out as much of the "juice" as you'll want gravy, into a small pot. Cooking this over medium high heat, whisk in flour by the TABLESPOON. Add a few tablespoons of flour at first. Once the gravy starts to boil, it will start to thicken. Add flour until you reach the desired consistency for your gravy.
