This is seriously as yummy as it sounds! And wicked wicked easy. And it’s a Slow Cooker Recipe! It’s like an epic win on so many levels. {Epic + Wicked in first few sentences of blog post = bonus}
The best part? I love pot roast.. but pot roast takes way more effort. You’ve gotta prep, cook meat, watch meat, test meat, let meat rest a little, cut meat, serve. Yeaaaaahhhhhh No. This does a great job of not making my kitchen look like the disaster zone it normally is 🙂 {Oops, sorry Mum if you’re reading this… I mean…my Kitchen is beautiful and always clean!} You could also absolutley make this on the stove if you don’t have a crock pot, just slightly cook each layer as you add it in {so let your veggies soften a bit, then add the meat, then add the rest} and let it simmer covered on low for a very long time {like 5 hours at least}.
This isn’t pricey either. Don’t feel like you have to use what I used veggie wise. I used what I had on hand so do the same. Zucchini, Summer Squash, Eggplant etc are all great options in this too! Also, the meat is cheap {it’s stew meat} so buy when it’s on “Managers Special” or on sale for an extra big savings!
Serving wise: We each had a HUGE bowl at dinner, picked at leftovers a little bit. Then had enough for two smaller lunch sized portions. So it could probably comfortably feed four people… But if feeding that many with it for dinner, I’d add a wee bit extra stock!
- • 1.25 lb Stew Meat
- • 1 Large Onion, Big Dice
- • 3 Carrots, Big Dice
- • 1/2 Medium Butter nut squash, Big Dice
- • 1 14oz Can of Diced Tomatoes
- • a little less than 8oz of Mushrooms, Big Dice
- • ~3/4 Cup Chicken Stock
- • Dried Basil, Oregano, Cumin
- • Splash of Apple Cider Vinegar
- • Salt + Pepper
- Dice up all of your veggies and layer then in. Once I get them in the crock pot I like to mix them up in there!
- Add in your Stew Meat. ** Note on the meat: the pieces were big when I got them, so I chopped them up anywhere from in half to into quarters!
- Add in spices {to taste, I literally just sprinkle them in until I’m happy}, Salt + Pepper, Apple Cider Vinegar, Chicken Stock + Can of Tomatoes {with liquid!}.
- Stir it up a little, set on high for 5 or so hours or on low for 8 or so hours.
When done the meat falls apart like a pot roast… And is super yummy!
Enjoy 🙂
