Post Election Pot Roast

What a great country we live in...last night made important history. Even though my beliefs are different from the new President elect may G-d bless him, his family, & our great nation!
Now on to the pot roast...This is a slow cooker recipe. I recommend this great appliance to all busy people. You throw the food in and let that sucker go!
1-2 lb pot roast
2 tbls olive oil
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 large onion thin sliced
1 large handful of shredded carrots
6 whole peeled smashed cloves of garlic
2 large stalks of celery diced
1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch dressing and seasoning mix
1 tbls tomato paste
Heat up a pan on the stove top...get it very hot
Dry the meat well
Rub it with the oil
Season well with salt and pepper
Sear it in the pan on all sides to make a crust,(don't turn it till it comes loose easily, it will let you know)
Set the slow cooker on low for 8 hours
Add the onions, carrots, celery, garlic, tomato paste, and the packet of seasoning
Give all this a stir
Add the meat
***Very important with slow cookers...do not lift the lid for the entire cooking time, doing this will ruin how the slow cooker process works.
Let her go!
I like to serve it with rice and pour the juices on top...that's how Mikee likes it!
Enjoy!
