Balsamic Roast!

So after many weeks (months?) of me not posting, I'm back! Anyone else ever find that life just gets in the way sometimes? :) It's always something! Now Josh is working on a kidney stone and Jonah has a double ear infection. But at least Jonah's on medication! And Josh's just has to work its way on out... So anyway, dinner tonight was a balsamic pot roast. My first time making it, a little experimentation, a little fun... Turned out pretty good! Josh actually said it was his favorite roast that I've made yet, and Isaiah ate about 4 helpings of it. (Elijah wouldn't even try it. But he's tired and crabby right now...) 

Balsamic Pot Roast

1 roast

2 Tbsp oil

1 beef bouillon cube 

1/2 c boiling water

8 oz. tomato sauce

3/4 c balsamic vinegar

2-3 onions, thickly sliced

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Then brown the roast on both sides. While roast is browning, mix together the bouillon, water, tomato sauce, and vinegar in the bottom of a slow cooker. Place the onion in the slow cooker next, then place the roast on top. Spoon some of the sauce over the roast. Cover and cook low 6-8 hours. (If you're home, turn the roast a couple times while cooking. If not, no big deal!) Enjoy!

* Can also slice up some potatoes and carrots and toss them in, too.

Correction: ELIJAH LIKES THE ROAST!!! PTL!!! In our house, the rule is that it's fine if you don't like what I fix for dinner, but you have to at least try it before you get anything else. So Elijah knew that in order to get more mashed potatoes or a PBJ, he had to at least try it. And guess what? He likes it! Go figure. Lol. Although he doesn't want more because it's hard to chew, but he liked it!
