THE BEST EVER SLOW COOKER POT ROAST RECIPE BY TASTY



The Best Ever Slow Cooker Pot Roast Recipe by Tasty image

This slow cooker pot roast only takes six ingredients to make thanks to a packet of onion soup mix. It gives the roast a ton of flavor without a ton of work, and no one will even know it's there. The best part? You just dump everything into the slow cooker, walk away for a few hours, and dinner practically cooks itself. Serve it over egg noodles or rice and dinner is good to go.

PERFECT ROAST TURKEY WITH BEST-EVER GRAVY



Perfect Roast Turkey with Best-Ever Gravy image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 6h

Yield 18 servings with about 7 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
Salt and freshly milled black pepper
2 1/2 quarts homemade turkey stock or canned reduced-sodium chicken broth
Melted unsalted butter, if needed
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup bourbon, port, or dry sherry, optional
1 (18-pound) fresh turkey
About 12 cups of your favorite stuffing

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the lowest position of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
  • Reserve the turkey neck and giblets to use in gravy or stock. Rinse the turkey inside and out with cold water. Pat the turkey skin dry. Turn the turkey on its breast. Loosely fill the neck cavity with stuffing. Using a thin wooden or metal skewer, pin the neck skin to the back. Fold the turkey's wings akimbo behind the back or tie to the body with kitchen string. Loosely fill the large body cavity with stuffing. Place any remaining stuffing in a lightly buttered casserole, cover and refrigerate to bake as a side dish. Place the drumsticks in the hock lock or tie together with kitchen string.
  • Place the turkey, breast side up, on a rack in the roasting pan. Rub all over with the softened butter. Season with salt and pepper. Tightly cover the breast area with aluminum foil. Pour 2 cups of the turkey stock into the bottom of the pan.
  • Roast the turkey, basting all over every 30 minutes with the juices on the bottom of the pan (lift up the foil to reach the breast area), until a meat thermometer inserted in the meaty part of the thigh (but not touching the bone) reads 180 degrees and the stuffing is at least 160 degrees, about 4 1/2 hours. Whenever the drippings evaporate, add stock to moisten them, about 1 1/2 cups at a time. Remove the foil during the last hour to allow the skin to brown.
  • Transfer the turkey to a large serving platter and let it stand for at least 20 minutes before carving. Increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Drizzle 1/2 cup turkey stock over the stuffing in the casserole, cover, and bake until heated through, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pour the drippings from the roasting pan into a heatproof glass bowl or large measuring cup. Let stand for 5 minutes, then skim off and reserve the clear yellow fat that has risen to the top. Measure 3/4 cup fat, adding melted butter if needed. Add enough turkey stock to the skimmed drippings to make 8 cups total.
  • Place the roasting pan on two stove burners over low heat and add the turkey fat. Whisk in the flour, scraping up browned bits on the bottom of the pan, and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the turkey stock and the optional bourbon. Cook, whisking often, until the gravy has thickened and no trace of raw flour remains, about 5 minutes. Transfer the gravy to a warmed gravy boat. Carve the turkey and serve the gravy and the stuffing alongside

THE BEST ROAST TURKEY YOU COULD EVER EAT



The Best Roast Turkey You Could Ever Eat image

While the cooking method is rather unconventional, this is the absolute best turkey you could ever want to eat. Adapted from a recipe by the late Edna Staebler. This is the same way my mother always cooked her turkey each year. We never ever did have a dry turkey. Word of truth.

Provided by MarieRynr

Categories     Whole Turkey

Time 4h40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 whole turkey, size depending on how many people you want it to serve
1/4 lb butter, softened
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse the turkey and dry it well. Sprinkle the cavity well with salt. Stuff as desired.
  • Rub the softened butter all over the outside of the bird, and sprinkled it lightly with salt.
  • Place the turkey on the rack of a large roaster, which has a heavy bottom, pouring about 2 inches of water in the bottom of the pan.
  • Lay the neck and giblets alongside, cover the pan tightly and put it on the large burner on top of the stove. Allow it to boil and then steam gently for 4 1/2 to 5 hours, approximately the same length of time that it would take to roast the same bird. Take care to see the pan does not cook dry.
  • When the drumsticks are loosened and the meat thermometer indicates the bird is about done, dribble a bot of soft butter over the skin, sprinkled it with a bit of white sugar and flour and bang it into a 350*F oven to brown while theaccompanying vegetables are cooking on top of the stove.
  • The drippings in the bottom of the roasting pan will be a rich dark brown. Skim off any fat and then use them to make a rich gravy.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

900 g rump steak (whole beef joint - 2lbs)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons black pepper
400 g potatoes (new scrubbed - 14 ounces)
400 g butternut pumpkin (14 ounces, peeled, deseeded and cut into 2.5cm/1in cubes I personally prefer Queensland Blue, a firm)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 190°C.

BEST RESTAURANT-STYLE PRIME RIB ROAST EVER!



Best Restaurant-Style Prime Rib Roast Ever! image

This is THE ONLY recipe I'll ever use for prime rib. It comes out PERFECT every single time! NO FAIL! But--you MUST NOT change the directions or the ingredients. The directions are CRUCIAL. When my husband's bosses came over from Germany, I made this for them, and they just flipped over it! The next time they came to the states,...

Provided by Kelly Williams

Categories     Roasts

Time 5h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 5-8 lb. prime rib roast, high quality (boneless)
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/8 cup dried rosemary, i crush the needles just a little
1/8 cup wasabi (horseradish) powder, comes in a very small can
1/8 cup garlic powder
1/16 cup cracked black pepper (or coarse ground)
2 Tbl. butter
*au jus for dipping, optional
*sour cream horseradish sauce for dipping, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Follow to a TEE: Combine seasonings, and rub into roast. Keep patting on til all is used. Sprinkle any on that is left over top. (Fatty side). Let sit while oven preheats to 375. Place roast in broiling pan or roaster lined with foil and sprayed with butter flavored vegetable spray, fat side up. Bake for 45 minutes. Turn oven off, DO NOT OPEN OVEN. Stick a note on the door as a reminder if you have to, I do! ;) One hour before serving, turn oven back on and set timer for 45 minutes. Take rib out, LET STAND FOR 15 MINUTES. This is VERY important, it allows the juices to redistribute. (*Do not carve "ahead of time", either.) Scrape off the salt "shell" leaving on some of the seasonings. (The salt shell that forms during cooking is what seals in the juices and moisture and is not intended to be eaten.) The meat directly underneath that will be a little salty, but that's usually the fatty part that no one eats, anyways. The rest of it will be fine. PROMISE! While outside is still hot/warm, spread butter all over outside of roast and let melt. Serve with au jus and sour cream horseradish sauce. *When serving, slice into thick, about 1"+, "restaurant-cut" slices (in from the ends.) *The "inbetween time" for me is always 1 1/2-2 hours. *Tip: I like to serve these with twice-baked potatoes and put them in with the roast during the second baking. Also steamed and buttered asparagus, my pineapple dressing, warm rolls or french bread and salad or soup. Small bowls or large cups of french onion goes well with this. (Smother with cheese!) And of course French Silk Chocolate Pie or cheesecake for dessert. Great for company, Christmas, New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day, business dinners, birthdays and anniversaries!
  • 2. The ends and any leftovers make awesome prime rib hoagies the next day, too.

BEST EVER POT ROAST WITH BOURSIN MASHED POTATOES



Best Ever Pot Roast with Boursin Mashed Potatoes image

This pot roast lives up to its name - it is the best ever! There are a few steps to this recipe, but every step enhances the wonderful flavors. The roast and gravy are bursting with flavor from all the fresh veggies and herbs. The wine reduction adds something a little extra making it a bit different than your average pot roast....

Provided by Samantha Jacobs

Categories     Roasts

Time 5h30m

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 c baby carrots
2 large onions, vidalia, peeled and quartered
5 lb chuck roast with good marbling ( fat= flavor)
3 Tbsp fresh thyme
3-4 sprigs fresh rosemary
3 bay leaves, dried
1/2 c olive oil
2-3 c beef stock/broth
1 c red wine (I used cab)
1 pkg pot roast Crock Pot packet - whatever brand
course grained sea salt
fresh crushed black pepper
1 c all-purpose flour
BOURSIN MASHED POTATOES~~~
1 pkg Boursin cheese, 8 oz
1 c milk
1/2 stick butter, salted
3 lb red bliss potatoes
green onion

Steps:

  • 1. Take out your meat; let your meat come up to room temp. LIBERALLY season with sea salt and fresh black pepper.
  • 2. Pour some olive oil into a pan. Heat on med-high until almost smoking. Put your onion quarters in and brown on all sides (you want a nice deep golden color). When browned, remove and put in bottom of Crock Pot.
  • 3. Next add a little more oil if needed and put your carrots into the pan making sure everything gets a nice color as well. Remove when evenly browned and add to Crock Pot.
  • 4. Add the last of your oil and let it heat up. While your oil heats, dredge your beef through your flour making sure it's evenly coated.
  • 5. Sear the meat on all sides, about a minute or two, getting a GBD (Golden Brown and Delicious) color.
  • 6. Pull out your meat and lay it on top of your onions and carrots.
  • 7. Add your rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves to the Crock Pot.
  • 8. Mix your pot roast packet into your 2 cups of stock and stir until well combined then add to your Crock Pot. (The liquid should come up about halfway on the meat.)
  • 9. If there is a lot of oil left in your pan, dump some of it out. Add your red wine to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wisk for all those little cooked on yummy bits (that's where a lot of your flavor will come from). Reduce it by about half, then add it to you Crock Pot.
  • 10. Set your Crock Pot on high and cook for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours. You can leave it on low and it will keep going or, after 4 hours on high I usually turn it down and let it go another hour.
  • 11. Boursin Mashed Potatoes! In the last 45 min of cooking get a big pot of SALTY water boiling. Wash all of your potatoes well. Stab all over with a fork. DO NOT PEEL.
  • 12. Add potatoes to boiling water and cook until tender (falling off the fork when stabbed).
  • 13. Strain the potatoes really well.
  • 14. Put the milk and butter in the microwave and heat until milk is hot and butter is melted.
  • 15. Add the potatoes back to the pot and get out your electric mixer. Mix until most of the really big pieces are broken down.
  • 16. Add the milk/butter mixture a little bit at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  • 17. I like these specific potatoes a little lump because they really stand up to the pot roast.
  • 18. Add 4 OZ of Boursin at the last minute and stir in while potatoes are hot. Season to taste.
  • 19. Try to separate the pot roast into manage pieces, either take it out and cut it or just separate it in the Crock Pot.
  • 20. It should be tender enough that it just falls apart to the touch.
  • 21. I serve it up with a big scoop of potaotes in the center of the plates and put pot roast and veggies and gravy right on top. Garnish with some chopped green onion if you so desire. DEEEEEEEEEEELICIOUS =)

BEST-EVER VEGETARIAN NUT ROAST



Best-ever vegetarian nut roast image

If you think nut roast is a boring vegetarian cliche, think again! This little beauty is chock full of delicious nuts, seeds and spices that come together in a taste sensation. Don't be put off by the number of ingredients - most of these are lurking in the average spice rack and it comes together really quickly and easily. It works brilliantly as a roast dinner but also anywhere you would normally use mince, such as in a bolognese sauce, "meat"balls, rissoles, chilli or shepherds pie. If making for Christmas, you can add lots of allspice and nutmeg in addition to the named spices for a lovely festive flavour, and wrap the nut mixture in puff pastry to make a delicious Wellington-esque dish, or make sausage rolls with the mixture. The possibilities are endless!

Provided by Philippa Moore

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

1-2 tablespoons olive oil
200g (1 large bag) walnut pieces
100g (half a large bag) whole almonds
200g other mixed nuts (I tend to use cashews, pinenuts and pecans)
1 cup sunflower seeds
2 teaspoons sweet smoked paprika
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
2 teaspoons mixed spice
Roughly 1½ cups breadcrumbs (add more if too wet)
1 egg
1 x 400g can chopped tomatoes, drained (reserve the juices for gravy)
2 large handfuls fresh flat leaf parsley
2 teaspoons Marmite
Juice of ½ a lemon
1/4 cup grated strong vegetarian Cheddar cheese
¾ of a medium red onion
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly-ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Grease and line a large loaf tin and set aside. If you're cooking the roast straight away (see step 4), preheat the oven to 180C (fan).
  • Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, toast the nuts, seeds and spices, tossing everything to coat well. Be very careful and do not let it burn. Toast for a few minutes, or until the mixture is fragrant and starting to turn golden, then turn off the heat and let it cool slightly.
  • Add the cooled nuts and spices to the bowl of a food processor. Add all other ingredients. Blitz until thoroughly combined, or combined to your liking (it can be nice if left a little chunky). You might need to stop and scrape it down a few times. If it's too wet, add more breadcrumbs. If it's too dry, add a little water, reserved tomato juice or even a dash of red wine if you've got some handy!
  • Place in the prepared pan and ideally leave for a few hours (or overnight is even better) in the fridge to let the flavours deepen and the loaf firm up. If you're in a hurry you can cook it straight away, but ideally give it at least an hour's resting time.
  • Preheat oven to 180C (fan). When ready, cook the roast for 45 minutes to an hour until firm and golden. Allow to cool slightly before carving then serve with all your favourite roast vegetables.

BEST EVER ROAST POTATOES



Best ever roast potatoes image

On the hunt for the best ever roast potatoes? Try this recipe, which uses a clever coating of a potato-style batter made with slightly overcooked potatoes...

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 2

8 large Maris Piper potatoes , peeled and cut into chunks
vegetable oil , for the roasting tin

Steps:

  • The day before, tip the potatoes into a large pan of salted water and simmer for 10 mins or until just tender, saving a little of the cooking water. Drain the potatoes in a colander and leave to cool. Now here's the trick; choose the two chunks that are most cooked and ready for mashing and push these through a potato ricer, then add a little of the cooking water to make a thick potato batter. Roll the cooled potatoes through the batter then put in the fridge on a tray lined with non-stick paper and chill overnight.
  • The next day, heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Take a large roasting tin and add a good splash of vegetable oil. Place in the oven and heat for a few minutes, then carefully add the potatoes to the hot fat and turn to coat. Lightly season with salt and roast for 40 mins without disturbing, then turn the potatoes and turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 8 and continue to roast the potatoes for another 20-30 mins, turning again once, until beautifully crisp and golden all over.

Time 55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 lbs potatoes (chose the best variety you can get for roasting)
4 ounces vegetable shortening (such as Trex or Crisco vegetable shortening)
3 -4 bay leaves (optional)
sea salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F, 200 C, gas mark 6; peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized halves or chunks.
  • Put the potatoes into a large saucepan, cover with cold salted water and bring to the boil; drain the water off as soon as it comes to the boil - this step isn't to cook the potatoes: it heats them through so they start roasting more quickly - return the potatoes to the hot pan and dry them over the heat (it is important that the potatoes are dry for roasting, otherwise they are likely to stick to the baking tray).
  • Slide a large baking tray into the oven to heat up for a few minutes, add the vegetable fat to the potatoes in the hot pan and let it melt; turn the potatoes in the melted fat until they are shiny and well coated, then tip them onto the hot baking tray.
  • Place the tray in the oven for about 45 minutes; add the bay leaves, if using, 15 minutes into the cooking time; turn and baste the potatoes a few times during cooking.
  • To serve, lift the potatoes from the baking tray with a slotted spoon, sprinkle with sea salt if desired: NOTE - if you are unable to serve the potatoes immediately, do not cover them (they'll loose their crispiness); instead keep them warm in the oven until you are ready.
