Here was the plan -
Put a roast in the crockpot then make steam and mash potatoes after visiting the gym tonight.
Reality -
The dishwasher delivery guys came at the last end of their window and Matt took William out to buy shoes...Mama made a martini and was sitting outside when all was said and done. And Daddy wasn't very hungry. Such is life. William was content to eat leftover spaghetti and meatballs and some peas. Mom and Dad decided the roast will wait until tomorrow. But, roast, an under appreciated slab of meat needs its due. When I was a kid roast meant an under-seasoned cut of meat cooked in a pressure cooker with potatoes and watery sauce plus over-cooked carrots. Sorry mom!
At my wedding Matt and I had roast to die for and I've tried to recreate it ever since. This is what I came up with:
Rump roast (whatever size feeds your family)
1 pkg brown gravy mix
1 10 1/2 can lower sodium, lower fat cream of mushroom soup
1 pkg dry onion soup mix
Mix the gravy mix, soup, and soup mix. Place the roast in a crockpot. Pour the soup mix over the top. Cover and cook on low 8 hours or high 6 hours. Use the liquid as gravy and thicken with equal parts flour and water as needed.
We will have this tomorrow. ;o)
