Crockpot Roast Beef and Carmelized Onions

Crock-pot Roast Beef and Caramelized Onions
Servings 8-10 servings
Prep Time: 15-20

Amazingly tender roast beef, just prep it and forget about it till dinner time!


4 pouches beef chuck pot roast
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions sliced into rings
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup (low sodium-optional)
2 cups beef broth low sodium-optional)
3 tablespoons Homestead Seasonings BEEF RUB
2 cups baby carrots
4 Potatoes cut into large cubes

Yields: 8-10 servings

 In a large crock-pot lay the meat in first and rub with the olive oil, then cover well with HOMESTEAD SEASONINGS BEEF RUB. Place onion rings on top of beef. In a separate bowl mix: brown sugar, vinegar and ketchup and then pour on top of the meat and onions. Toss in carrots and potatoes around the beef.

 

 Carefully pour in beef broth around the edge of the beef and veggies without disturbing the sauce and spice on top of the onions and beef too much. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or until meat shreds easily. 

Check at 6 hours and if the meat is still tough it means it needs to cook longer.

 I like to cook it about 7 hours, so it is tender, but I can serve it in chunks instead of shredded.

This makes a delicious and easy weekday meal that pleases even the pickiest eaters. Think about buying a little bit bigger roast and use the leftovers as DOUBLE DUTY in one our other great Homestead Recipes like our: Irish Beef Stew or Dreamy Beef Stroganoff.
