Blustery Day Roast

By yesterday afternoon, it was apparent that some significant weather was headed towards Akron, Ohio.  I was working from home, but Mr. RC Homestead would have to manage through a treacherous commute before enjoying the coziness of our casa.

I figured that some 'man food' would warm him up real quick!

Here is my Blustery Day Roast recipe for the slow cooker:

• Grab a slab of rump roast from the grocery. Mine was just under 2 #, but you can certainly go bigger if you have more mouths to feed
• 2 Large Carrots
• 2 Large Potatoes
• 3 Stalks of Celery
• 1 Green Pepper
• 1 Large Onion
• 2 Cloves Garlic
• 1/4 C Flour
• 1/2 t Salt
• 1/2 t Pepper
• 1t Parsley
• 1t Penzy's Peppercorn
• 1/2t Penzy's Paprika
• 3/4t Oregano
• Worcestershire Sauce

*Be sure that you have at least 6 hours (preferably 8 hrs) before you plan to share your delicious meal!

1. Turn your slow cooker on low. Pour in enough water to cover the bottom, plus an inch or two.
2. Chop the taters, pepper, onion, celery, garlic and carrots into shapes you enjoy. Toss them into the slow cooker.
3. Cut the fat off of your roast.
4. Mix flour with salt and pepper in a bowl.
5. Take the roast and toss it around in the flour mixture. Cover all sides.
6. Put the roast atop the veggies in the slow cooker.
7. Pour enough water in the slow cooker to cover just the meat.
8. Add your parsley, peppercorn, paprika, and oregano.
9. Add a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce-- I don't think you can go wrong with a half dozen (or dozen) dashes here, it will add a really great touch to your favor
10. Let the smell warm your home.
11. 8 hours later (give or take)... enjoy your feast!

 *Always be sure that meat has properly cooked before devouring.

Stay warm, Akron.

All the best--
