A Chrystal's Original Recipe: A Roast Dinner For Gary

Gary says he'll eat S%#t if it's made right but I completey disagree. He tends to be way more picky than he says he is. But this roast dinner sends his approval meter through the roof. I always know when he is full and happy when he says, " I'm not gonna lie, this is really good!"

So I guess that means he lies about the other dishes he says were good only after I asked if he liked them huh? Well hey, ya can't score on every meal, but I sure do enjoy watching him fill his belly with this one...

A Roast Dinner for Gary:
1 round bottom roast
Carrots
Potatoes
1 red onion
32+ oz. of chicken broth (Swanson’s)
1 tablespoon Accent
1 Tablespoon ground mustard
2 Tablespoon garlic salt
1 Tablespoon pepper
1 tablespoon salt
Dash of paprika
Directions:
In a crock-pot, add potatoes, and onion quartered, peeled and chopped carrots, chicken broth, dry ingredients and roast. Cook for about 2-3 hours and remove the tender potatoes. Continue cooking until roast is tender approx. a total of 5-6 hours.

Mash and blend potatoes, adding milk and butter to taste. Set aside.

Once roast is finished cooking strain broth from vegetables and roast. in a sauce pan or skillet over medium heat whisk flour into broth until it reaches a gravy thickness consistency.

Serve roast with mashed potatoes and gravy, veggies, and a side salad to top it off! Yum Yum!

Tid-bit: by cooking potatoes with meat/broth, gives your mashed potatoes an incredible kick to the flavor.
