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.

That sounds so delicious! I love roast beef — it’s one of my ultimate comfort foods for sure.
What a comforting meal!
beef roast is nothing I grew up with, but the hubs is a huge fan so I’ve started making it more recently.
