HS Creations’ Pot Roast - EASY!
🥩🍂 HS Creations Crockpot Pot Roast: Easy Comfort Food with a Flavorful Twist
A classic comfort-food favorite with a hint of European-inspired flavor.
I DON’T FOLLOW RECIPES. I MAKE MY OWN. 😂
It started with Betty Crocker’s Easy Crockpot Pot Roast.
A perfectly good recipe.
But if you know anything about The Organic Chemist, you know I can’t leave a recipe alone!
I started thinking about the flavors. What could I add? What could I change? And how could I make this familiar comfort-food favorite taste a little different?
Three HS Creations blends later, I had my answer.
Tender beef, buttery Yukon Gold potatoes, carrots, onions, and a rich mushroom-beef broth infused with warm spices and aromatic herbs.
No browning. No complicated preparation.
Just a Crockpot and a little culinary chemistry!
And yes, there’s more than enough for two people—with leftovers!
🥕 Ingredients
● 1½ lbs boneless beef roast or beef tips
● 1½ lbs small Yukon Gold potatoes
● 1 lb carrots, cut into chunks
● 1 white onion, chopped
● 32 oz beef broth
● 2 TBSP tomato paste
● 1 can (10½ oz) cream of mushroom soup
● 1 TBSP HS Creations Bully Beef Blend
● 1 TBSP HS Creations Teary Blend
● 1 TBSP HS Creations Must Be Garlic Blend
● Salt and pepper, optional
🍲 Easy Crockpot Directions
1. Add the beef.
Place the beef into a lightly greased 5–6 quart Crockpot. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
2. Add the vegetables.
Arrange the Yukon Gold potatoes, carrots, and chopped onion around the beef.
3. Build the flavor.
Whisk together the beef broth, tomato paste, cream of mushroom soup, and all three HS Creations blends.
Pour over the beef and vegetables.
4. Let the Crockpot do the work!
● HIGH: Approximately 5 hours
● LOW: Approximately 7–8 hours
Cook until the beef is fork-tender and the potatoes and carrots can easily be pierced with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the cut and size of the beef.
5. Serve and enjoy!
Ladle the tender beef, vegetables, and flavorful broth into bowls.
Add a piece of crusty bread for dipping.
Dinner is served!
🌿 The Organic Chemist’s Flavor Twist
Here’s where things get interesting.
Traditional pot roast recipes often rely on familiar seasonings, garlic, thyme, and packaged onion soup mix.
I wanted something a little different.
🥩 Bully Beef Blend — The Unexpected Twist
Coriander, mustard, black pepper, cinnamon, red pepper, bay leaf, clove, ginger, and cardamom.
These warm, aromatic spices bring complexity to the beef and introduce that subtle European-inspired flavor I was looking for.
🧅 Teary Blend — The Savory Foundation
Onion, beef bouillon, parsley, turmeric, celery, salt, and black pepper.
This handcrafted blend builds a rich onion-and-beef flavor, replacing the need for a separate packaged onion soup mix.
🧄 Must Be Garlic Blend — The Finishing Layer
Garlic, chive, onion, salt, dill, parsley, and basil.
Because garlic is wonderful.
But garlic surrounded by complementary herbs?
Even better. 😂
🥩 Betty Crocker vs. The Organic Chemist
So which recipe is better?
That’s entirely a matter of taste!
Betty Crocker’s version delivers familiar, traditional pot roast flavors.
My HS Creations version takes a different approach by layering warm spices, savory onion, garlic, and herbs.
Neither approach requires complicated cooking techniques.
But with HS Creations, those complementary seasonings are already combined into three handcrafted, small-batch blends.
That’s the whole idea behind what I create.
Making flavorful cooking easier without sacrificing creativity.
🍂 A Few Tips From My Kitchen
Want a thicker gravy? Start with less beef broth, or thicken some of the cooking liquid with a cornstarch slurry at the end.
Love leftovers? Refrigerate promptly and enjoy within 3–4 days, or freeze for another meal.
Want extra flavor? Browning the beef before slow cooking is optional, but it adds another layer of savory flavor.
Watching your salt? Teary Blend contains beef bouillon and salt, while Must Be Garlic also contains salt. Taste before adding more.
💚 Comfort Food, The HS Creations Way
This is exactly why I love creating seasoning blends.
One familiar recipe.
Three handcrafted blends.
A completely different flavor experience.
Rich. Savory. Hearty. Comforting.
Perfect for a chilly evening, and the leftovers might be even better tomorrow!
I DON’T FOLLOW RECIPES. I MAKE MY OWN.
And that’s half the fun. 😂
