Carrie’s Sweet Life

My wonderful Mom gave us almost 200 lbs of beef that she was gifted!!! Adam is a beef lover so this was very exciting to him. We now have our whole chest freezer full of beef. So look for lots of beef recipes in the future. I used to love pot roast growing up but everytime I have made it, it never turns out the same. I decided to give it another go.

I prefer mashed potatoes with my roast so I didn’t cook potatoes with it, but you easily could. I also made homemade gravy for the first time!

Beef Roast (From: My Mom)

• 1 beef roast thawed
• 2 cups beef broth
• carrots

Put roast in slow cooker, top with seasonings of choice. Pour beef broth over roast and throw carrots in.

Cook on low for 8 hours or so.

Beef Gravy (From: Myself)

• 2 cups broth from cooked roast
• 2 T. butter
• 1/2 c. flour
• 1 cloved crushed garlic

Melt butter in saucepan, once melted brown garlic.

Mix in flour to create a thick paste.

Slowly whisk in broth until all incorporated.

Heat until warm.
