Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3 to 4 pound Beef roast (chuck roast, pot roast, bottom round or other large, lean cut of beef)
  • 1 Container Cream of mushroom soup (see notes above on brands)
  • 1 Packet Dried onion mix (I like Simply Organics brand)
  • 4 Carrots Cut in half vertically and then again in half
  • 4 Parsnips Prepare as you do with the carrots above
  • 1/4 Cup Dry red wine
  • 1 Tbsp Dried rosemary leaves, crushed

Equipment

  • Slow cooker

Method
 

  1. Combine cream of mushroom soup, soup mix, dried rosemary, red wine and stir. Place mixture in the slow cooker (you may want to coat the slow cooker with a thin spray of oil for easy clean up).
  2. Place roast on top of mixture and turn to coat so that all sides are lightly covered.
  3. Place sliced vegetables around roast (I like to coat those too in the soup mixture).
  4. Cook for 8 to 9 hours. Enjoy with a green salad and a fresh loaf of bread if you like.
