Mississippi Pot Roast

We arrived home a few days ago from our Holiday vacation and it is freezing in the Northeast..  It is currently 11 degrees and the wind chill is un-bearable.  We pulled out our slow cooker and are going to make the Mississippi Pot Roast that Karen Duffy shared with me when I interviewed her about her newly released book.  She thought I had written up the recipe on this blog, but in actuality, she was the one to share the recipe with me.  My husband and I made it a few weeks ago, and true to her description, it is a beauty. Easy to eat, delicious and cooks itself.  What’s not to love?  It is perfect for a freezing cold weekend dinner at home.  There are 5 ingredients and they all go right into the slow cooker.  No browning or cooking the meat in advance.  It is that easy.

When I got home from work tonight, we headed to the local grocery store to pick up the chuck roast and salad fixings. We will put the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner will be ready 8 hours later.  I will be able to take down out Christmas tree, do a ton of laundry and smell dinner cooking.  I am already excited for dinner!  It is that good and that simple to make.  Enjoy!

Do not add any water or broth to this! It will make enough liquid as it cooks.
