How to Make Roast Beef

Learning how to make roast beef is so simple you'll want to have it often. It is easiest prepared in a crock pot and cooked for 6-8 hours but you can also cook it in the oven for one hour depending on the size of your roast. Add cut potatoes, onions, turnips or carrots with your roast and you have dinner ready all in one pot.

Place meat, onions and water in crock pot. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 6-8 hours. Drain and set broth aside for later. Let sit for 5-10 minutes then cut or shred.

• If you are preparing roast beef in the oven, place roast in a large casserole pan and bake for 40 minutes-1 hour depending on how big your roast is. Bake at 350 degrees.

Pepperoncini Pot Roast

by Eve (MS gulf coast)
3-4 lb roast...beef or pork
One jar Pepperoncini peppers

Put roast in crock pot, add peppers, juice and all, to pot. Cook for four hours on high or eight hours on low.

This can be served with rice or mashed potatoes. Leftovers make wonderful pulled pork or beef sandwiches. Don't forget to put the peppers on the sandwich.

When I make a pork roast, I will sometimes use the leftovers to place over cooked cabbage. You could probably cook the cabbage right with the roast.
