El Crockpot

El Crockpot

I have a 4 lb beef rump roast in the refrigerator that will begin its day on Wednesday in my crockpot. But how to cook it…? There are plenty of crockpot recipes out there that get the job done–you know, you throw in aromatic, fresh ingredients in the morning, flip the knob, and by dinner time you have a soft heap of something with an unremarkable flavor and a borderline-repulsive consistency. Like bad leftovers.

Winter is crockpot season, but mine has only found its way to the countertop once for chili. Wednesday will be its second performance.

Does anyone have an excellent crockpot recipe, particularly for cooking meat, that gives the meat some zesty and exciting flavor? Any other remarkable crockpot recipe suggestions would be SO appreciated too! I’d love to use this mother’s helper more often, but so far in my experience, the product ain’t much to write home about.
