I've been trying to fix pot roast for a number of years. It just never seems to turn out like moms. I've tried leaving the water out putting a little water in. And just about every kind of roast you can have. It always seems to dry out. Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
I'm cooking it in a crock pot.
How long are you cooking it, set on high or low, how big is it, etc. Not knowing the particulars, I would recommend a starting point of using a slow-cooker liner bag, cook on low and with enough water to just cover the bottom. Flip it at 3 or 4 hours.
I've never had a problem with putting one on low for 7-8 hours and it not drying out.
If you want to try something different, I've got a recipe where you throw in Dr. Pepper and a few other things and it makes its own gravy as it cooks. Surprisingly it's not sweet and tastes pretty much like regular gravy. |
