a potroast?????????

I'm realllllly hungry for a pot roast, and to be honest, I've NEVER made one. I have no idea of how to really do it.

First of all.. what is the best cut of beef to make a pot roast with?

I'm also not looking to spend a whole huge wad of money.. a good affordable cut.

Thanks!

If you're going to make it in the crockpot, you can use just about any cut. I don't have much luck roasting them in the oven, unless I use a roasting bag. I still prefer the crockpot because it just falls apart, no matter how bad I screw it up.

You can use any roast really ... I usually just look for what is on sale.

Ummm ... then I would just get the cheapest thing they have, sear it on both sides in the frying pan, then plop it in the crockpot with some sliced onions and a can of cream of mushroom soup. The last few hours, I'll pick up the roast and throw some potatoes and carrots underneath it.

Do i need to add any other liquid? or Just the cream of mushroom soup?

I remember my mom's having lots of yummy juices.. are those just natural that cook off?

Plan on cooking about 5 or 6 hours???

I don't add any extra liquid if I use the cream of mushroom. The roast will create a lot of its own and if you add too much liquid, you'll actually "boil" the meat. Sometimes instead of the Cream of Mush, I'll use a packet of ranch seasoning or a packet of Lipton Onion/Mushroom soup mix and of course, you'd need a little water with those. Whichever I use, I always end up adding some Worstechire sauce, lots of garlic and pepper, and maybe a little Italian seasoning. I am SO craving pot roast now! Thanks!
