I miss having a slow cooker. In fact, I plan to find one when I am working again. Something simple, no need for anything fancy with me. Just something that I can put a roast in on low and let it simmer all day long. Although I would probably want to put a lock on it because I know the Little Lady and Honey may end up eating it before I get home.
In place of a slow cooker, I use the stovetop. Any roast I put in the oven comes out undercooked or tough as rubber, so I had to figure out some other way to make it as if it is in a slow cooker.
I put it in a pot with about two cups of water and add a season-all type of seasoning to it. I found the season al I've been using at CostCo and it's kind of like a mix you'd find from Mrs. Dash but it's a huge bottle.
Another thing I plan to make when I start working is home made beef stew. In doing this I throw in carrots, celery, potatoes, other vegetables as needed and two or three packets of brown gravy along with the roast and walk away again. No, I don't use beef stew meat, I don't see a reason as to why I should, it's roast anyway. Today I am making Three Cheese Rice with the roast and mixed veggies. Everything is about done so I am going to go eat. Laters.
