Added the liquid, Onion and spices..Started the cooker

I was in the kitchen and smelled that terrific Roast. It smelled outstanding. Went over and put my hand on the slow Cooker.....Then realized I had not even plugged it in. If it smelled that good before even starting it I cannot wait until 5:30 this evening.....
:S

  • I once had a crock pot who had "keep warm" setting where you would expect the HIGH setting to be. I had to keep a post a note inside to remind me. I can't tell you how many times I had a similar experience until I started using those notes.
  • I heavily pepper my roast (HEAVILY). Sear it in a hot iron skillet with just a touch of oil. Add salt. Put in crock pot along with baby carrots, onion chunks and 1/2 cup of chicken broth. When it is time I make mashed potatoes and spoon the "drippings" on. Good!

    I do love a crock pot roast. I brown a good sized Chuck Roast, add 1 LG package of Lipton onion soup, 1/4 cup of Worcestershire Sauce and 1/2 cup of water, pinch of pepper. It's just that easy. Cook on low for 6 to eight hours and when you come back in the TC it smells like Mom has been there all day long cooking the roast, YUM!

    I hear that!

  • I'm doing something wrong, Mine doesn't smell that great for at least
    two hours after forgetting to plug it in! :h
  • Well I've failed to plug it in, but never thought it smelled good enough to eat.LOL
