Put a pot-roast in the crock-pot. Came back in thirty minutes and the lid was still cold. After some troubleshooting, I need a new crock-pot. Anyway, I moved on to plan B. Broke out the cast iron dutch oven and transferred the roast. Low and slow for 3 hours 300 degrees in the oven. Added potatoes and carrots. Adjusted the liquid level and back into the oven for another 1 and 1/2 hours. Pulled out the roast, made a slurry of water and flour. Added slurry to the pot and thickened the gravy for fifteen minutes. While that was happening I broke the roast up into large chunks. When the gravy was thickened I returned the meat to the pot and gently coated the meat with the gravy. Served over buttered egg noodles with fresh baked bread. Comfort food X 1,000. Oatmeal stout. Just what I needed.
