Growing up, we almost always had a roast beef in the crock pot waiting for us when we got home from church. My Mom passed on this tradition from her family. It was quick, easy, and a delicious classic. And we always knew that if any of us invited friends over after church, the meal could easily stretch to fit the crowd. When we would open the door, the wonderful aroma would settle my senses, giving me a feeling that all is well with the world. The aroma still transports me back home or to my Grandma's house, which is a comforting feeling as I'm raising my own family now far from either of those homes. A great thing about crock pot roast, besides the flavor, is that it's so quick and easy to throw together on a rushed morning! Early in the day, start with a pot roast of your choice. Place it in your crock pot and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Add a chopped onion, lots of peeled carrots, and some scrubbed, washed, and pricked potatoes for the rest of the family (not SCD-legal). Set on low if you'll be having it for dinner(6-8 hours), or on high if you plan on enjoying it for lunch (4-6 hours). Serve with SCD yogurt (replacement for sour cream) and butter, and sour cream for other members of the family. Salad and/or applesauce is also delicious alongside. This is a simple yet classic and complete meal that should please just about everyone! Homey Crock Pot Roast Serves 6-8 people Ingredients: 1 medium to large boneless pot roast, salt & peppered 4-6 scrubbed and pricked potatoes (one or two extras in case of company!) 4-6 carrots, peeled and sliced (or 1-2 per person) 1 onion, chopped Instructions: Early in the day, place the pot roast in your crock pot and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Add a chopped onion, lots of peeled carrots, and some scrubbed, washed, and pricked potatoes for the rest of the family (not SCD-legal). Set on low if you'll be having it for dinner(6-8 hours), or on high if you plan on enjoying it for lunch (4-6 hours). To serve, pile a large platter with potatoes at one end, carrots in the middle, and sliced or torn apart roast at the other end. Pour some of the cooking liquid into a pitcher to pass at the table. Serve with SCD yogurt (replacement for sour cream) and butter, and sour cream for other members of the family. Salad and/or applesauce is also delicious alongside. Tip: I have been just fine with cooking the potatoes on top of the food I can eat, but if you prefer to play it safer, you could put the potatoes on a sheet of tin foil to separate the ingredients. I get the SCD-legal food out first and then get the potatoes out, to avoid getting potato on my food. Click the pot roast picture for your handy printable! I hope you love this classic as much as we do! Erin
