Catherine Elizabeth Creations: Hearty Pot Roast

It's that time a year when I absolutely love to make meals that warm the tummy. What better to make on a cold autumn day than a Hearty Pot Roast!!! If you would like to try this yummy recipe this is what you will need:

2-3lb Rump Roast

1 medium size onion-chopped

1 garlic clove-chopped

1 cup of baby carrots, whole

6 medium size potatoes-diced

1/4 cup of Flour

1 tsp. Rosemary

1 tsp Pepper

1 tsp Salt

1 tsp Adobo

1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

1 tsp Mr's Dash or Onion Soup Mix Packet (Optional for extra flavor)

2 cups of Beef Broth or 2 cups of water with 2 Bouillon cubes

2 Bay Leaves

1 Tablespoon of Butter

Start with melting the butter. Yes BUTTER! It enhances the flavor so I like to indulge once in a while. You could also use olive oil if you like. Or like me, just take an extra fast paced walk on the day you make this :) Then roughly chop one onion and a clove of garlic and let that saute for a minute or two. Then put in about a cup of baby carrots as well.

Remove the veggies and set aside. Next grab Mr. Roast and season with all of the spices on both sides.

Then also flour both sides and put into the pot to brown.

Make sure to brown both sides for approximately 4 mins each.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, wash 4 medium sized potatoes and give them a rough chop. I like my veggies to have a little rustic look to them :)

Once the roast is brown on both sides place it in the pan surrounded by all of the veggies. Its a party!!! And yes I currently do not own a dutch oven so I just used a pan that was large enough to fit everything. But if you have one you can use it! I won't be mad at you! :)
