Crock pot roast beast


Crock pot Roast Beast  
With onions & Green Beans 
no carb dinner idea

Not sure about you ,but I LOVE my crock pot I use it all the time I just throw stuff in and it does all the cooking while I work. I love this particular recipe because I can make two meals at once, but first let's make tonight's dinner Roast Beast.


What you'll need 
Roast (I always look for one on sale)
Beef broth you can use the cubes if you prefer ,but organic beef broth is better for you.
1 large onion 
salt/pepper 
Frozen green beans you can get a huge bag of organic ones at Costco for next to nothing & they are delicious ! 
minced garlic 
Coconut oil 

Place roast in the crock pot cover with broth or water and add the recommended number of cubes, the liquid does not need to completely cover the roast, but does need to come close. Add salt and pepper. Cut the onion up into wedges separate them and put them in the crock pot with the roast. I put this on in the morning around 7:00/8:00 cook on high all day, it'll be falling apart by dinner no knife needed ! Spoon some of the broth and onions from the crock pot  right onto your roast so yummy ! 

Garlic Green beans. Heat a spoonful of coconut oil in a saute pan add the beans follow the cooking time on the back of the bag about half way through add the minced garlic at least a teaspoon we make enough for 5 people so I use a tablespoon season with sea salt. 

You'll have to calculate your own calories depending on the cut of meat you use we had Angus roast (it happened to be on sale) This meal came in around 400 calories with 6 ounces of meat , the onion and 1 1/3 cup of green beans. 

Stay tuned before you clean up this dinner you can easily turn the left overs into tomorrows lunch, Beef Vegetable soup which I'll post tomorrow !
