There is truly nothing as comforting, or rewarding, as a good home-cooked meal. The satiety one experiences after finishing a plate of delicious, wholesome, home-cooked food is an experience that cannot be replicated at any fast food restaurant, or from some frozen boxed dinner. For those of you who already enjoy cooking, and even those who are a little leery in the kitchen, there is nothing easier, and more satisfying, than making a delicious, tender, rib-sticking pot roast, particularly a beef round roast, the unrivaled king of roast cuts. There are many different recipes and flavor variations to choose from, any one of which is sure to please. But what makes a pot roast such a wonderful choice, aside from it’s deliciousness, is how incredibly simple it is to make one. It really is a foolproof meal, allowing both novices and pros to end up with a tender, perfectly prepared cut of meat that their friends and family will love.

There are basically two methods to prepare a beef round roast: either in a roasting pan in your oven, or in a crock-pot. Both have their advantages, but if you seek simplicity, without wanting to sacrifice taste, then a crock-pot or slow cooker is the perfect choice for you. By using a crock-pot or slow cooker, it can be as simple as adding all the ingredients to the pot, setting the temperature control, and walking away. You need not fuss over a beef round roast, and that is what makes it such a wonderful choice for people who have used the hectic nature of their lives be a barrier to preparing tasty, home-cooked meals for themselves and their family. With a slow cooker, there is no excuse; you can throw all the essential ingredients in the pot before heading off to work in the morning, and come home to a perfectly prepared, delectably delicious meal that the whole family will love.

One very simple, and extremely tasty, beef round roast recipe is so good, you will not believe it took so little effort: simply brown the roast in a casserole dish or skillet with a little bit of olive oil or butter, then transfer the roast in to a crock-pot or slow cooker. Toss in chopped onions, garlic, carrot, and russet potatoes. Pour in a mixture of beef broth and your favorite beer (enough to half-cover the roast) and cook on low for four to six hours. The results will astound you, and there is almost no effort involved. The roast will be perfectly cooked, fork-tender, and absolutely delicious.

There are many different variations on this simple dish, any one of which will please even the most finicky of eaters in your household. You can add diced tomatoes and bell peppers, to give it a tex-mex twist, or dress it up by adding mushrooms, bacon, and adding a good brandy to the broth in place of the beer. Served with a fresh tossed green salad and a simple desert, this is a meal so simple that anyone can make it, and yet it is as good as any one you can get in some overpriced restaurant.

If you want a delicious, simple meal that everyone in your whole family will enjoy, look no further than a beef round roast. With minimal time and effort you will have a wholesome, tasty meal you can be proud to serve to your loved ones. Bon appetit.
