Betty, Your suggestion of using Cambells brand brown beef broth and also Cosomme was brilliant! That broth is much better than the colorless stuff, and there was no need to use Gravy Master or Kitchen Bouquet. Your timing suggestions were right on, as well. Thanks! (Pattycakesmiles).

[bettyskitchen]

@tjbollman1 Hi! Thanks for your lovely comment! I really appreciate it!

[dody1998]

hi betty is it okay to use canned beef broath ?

[bettyskitchen]

@dody1998 Yes, canned beef broth is fine!

--Betty :)

[110cottoncandy]

if i dont have a crock pot what can i use?

[bettyskitchen]

@110cottoncandy You can use a roasting pan in the oven. If you don't have that, then use a large covered pot on the stove. Check to make sure there is enough liquid occasionally, and add water if needed.

--Betty :)

[110cottoncandy]

can i use sweet potato or any other kinds of potato? and instead of carrots can i just put more potatoes?

[bettyskitchen]

@110cottoncandy Yes, sweet potatoes will be fine, and you may leave out the carrots and add more potatoes.

[bettyskitchen]

@carebears400 Thanks for your sweet comment! I really appreciate it!

[sebastian200459]

can I use flour insttead of cornstarch?

[bettyskitchen]

@sebastian200459 Yes, flour makes it more opaque, but it will taste very good!

--Betty :)

[sebastian200459]

I add celery too and tons more onions actually all veggies. Just cause they shrink down so much.....Ive never seared it before tried that this time too turned out great!!

[bettyskitchen]

@sebastian200459 Thanks for the nice comment! I like the additions you made!

[averyms]

Betty you are awesome. I've watched a few of your videos and got really good ideas. Thank you.

[dulcelake]

Looks Yummy. I used to cook Elk in the slow cooker. Then shredded it up and add Bar B Que sauce for sandwiches. My brother in law said it tasted like beef. I use to feed my nieces and nephews Crock Pot Elk. They did'nt taste the difference. To this day I never told them. That is what they ate when I baby sat those kids. Now their older, and I never told them. Thanks to the Crock Pot.

[luckysmusic]

I have been looking at youtube videos on how to cook pot roast in a slow cooker and your video is by far the best one on youtube. You do a wonderful presentation and calmly explain everything in a way that is easily understood. You are fantastic and very charming throughout the video. Do you have any sisters that might be available???

[bettyskitchen]

@luckysmusic Thanks for your lovely comment! No, sorry, I don't have any available sisters...

--Betty :)

[EquestrianandBimmers]

Lovely home & very organized w/your meal. I love it. You remind me of my aunt from Louisville.

Thank you for sharing, God Bless

[IKUIFGLO]

The way you present each ingredient, the measurments and the time it takes to prepare the meal is absolutely fantastic! You posess such flair and grace along with the hospitality you give to each viewer. I love how you arranged the meal on the platter along with the gravy you poured over the top of it. What a wonderful presentation and to think, you don't even have your own show yet.

[bettyskitchen]

@IKUIFGLO Thanks for your lovely comment! I really appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[GulfCoastGirl5]

Hi Betty,

You are now officially my favorite YouTube cook to watch! I love how you take the time to explain all the ingredients, including the measurements. I also like how you show us the preparation and explain it well too.

P.S. Tell your hubby he does a great job with the camera :)

[bettyskitchen]

@GulfCoastGirl5 Thanks for your lovely comment! I really appreciate it!

--Betty  :)

[TheCheffEddie]

Hi,

I love the way you present your vids. I would like to know what camera and recording/editing system you use. The way you show the work area and not bounce allover the place is perfect. Do you record voice at the time you make the dish or dub it in later?

So many questions and so little time.

I look forward to hearing from you or send me to someone else that I can ask questions to?

Eddie

[bettyskitchen]

@TheCheffEddie Hi Eddie,

We just use a small digital camera that shoots still pictures, as well as videos. It is a Canon Powershot S5 IS. We've had it for a long time, so I'm not sure this model is still being made. Rick, my husband, does the camera work. He doen't use a tripod, and the noise of the kitchen and my voice is just what is picked up by the camera. Rick has gotten really good at zooming in on the food when it is appropriate. If you need more info, send me a PM; Rick can answer.--B

[mdnw2007]

That looks almost as good as you

Thanks for the recipe

[alabasterboxpastor]

Good Ole' Southern Cooking! Thanks for Supper!

[Tardisius]

Nice recipe-- I use either a Nesco 6qt roaster(2hrs@250)

or a Cook's Essentials 5 1/2 qt Low pressure cooker (2hrs).

I can't wait all day for such a tasty treat. Thanks.

[zippystyle511]

Hello Betty

You have a lovely kitchen. I am going to try this pot roast recipe tomorrow.

[bettyskitchen]

@murphygtm I hope you enjoy the recipe! Thanks for commenting!

--Betty :)

[murphygtm]

Hello Betty. You have a lovely kitchen. I am going to make your pot roast in a crock pot tomorrow. I usually use a dutch oven, but want to try the crock pot.

[bettyskitchen]

@murphygtm I think you will enjoy the roast in a crock pot.

--Betty :)

[murphygtm]

@murphygtm The crock pt "pot roast" I made was perfect. Thankyou

[shehed11]

WoW, looks like a great recipe. I do not have a slow cooker, how should I do it instead, please do tell, I'd reall appreciate it.

But what I'd really like to compliment on here is the presentation. LOVELY! Could you also show us how you made that salad next to the pot roast?

[bettyskitchen]

@shehed11 Thanks for your compliments! If you want to do a roast without a crock pot, you need a covered ovenproof pan--or you can cover it with aluminum foil. Just season the roast with salt or meat tenderizer, and place it in a covered ovenproof dish or pan at 350 for about 3 to 4 hours, depending on the size of roast. You can check on it occasionally to see how it is progressing, and then remove when done. Then you can make delicious gravy from the juices!

--Betty :)

[primefinder]

love your videos.

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks so much!

--Betty :)

[rush2death]

Wow betty thanks a lot!

[MUZIKfactory2]

Betty, I am a sucker for pastries & I noticed the round ring pastry on the table, what is it? When you make it again for yourself, would you please post the recipe? Thank you sincerely

[bettyskitchen]

That is a bread ring, which is posted. I will sent it to you!

--Betty :)

[ivycharlaine]

Wow Betty you are an absolute doll. You really should have your own cooking show. The roast looked fantastic and I am going to try your recipe tomorrow for my inlaws :)

[bettyskitchen]

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your sweet comment!  People like you keep me inspired and motivated!

--Betty :)

[flamedub]

This looks mouthwatering, I'll try it tomorrow.

Winter mean i'm using my slow cooker almost all the time :)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for the compliment! I hope you like the recipe! It's the middle of summer here, but I still use my crock pot for convenience, but it is *really* great on a cold day! Nice to hear from you!!!

--Betty :)

[MattyMatt761]

I watched this because was in the process of making myself a roast. Just threw a roast in one of those cooking bags with some veggies and a broth and set the oven @ 325 for 4 hours. It smells good in here, but there is no way it could compete with your masterpiece! Keep up the great work and btw your hair looked really cute in this vid!

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your sweet comments! I'm sure your roast was great! I just took the easy way, using the crock pot. Thanks for your compliment on my hair! I appreciate your taking the time to write!

--Betty :)

[edwelsh]

Oh Betty put a fork in me I am done.........you are great.

[bettyskitchen]

Thank you! You are very sweet!

--Betty :)

[ninespiralx]

Hi Betty!

I made this yesterday for the family and it turned out really well! We at the leftovers tonight and it was even better! I used too much tomato paste and I think I might leave it out next time altogether, but I have really learned a lot through all of your videos!

As always, thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes!

< 3 from Hawaii

[bettyskitchen]

You are welcome, as always! I really appreciate your trying some of my recipes and giving me feedback--thanks!!!

--Betty :)

[etherealone]

great vids. some suggestions. less oil as that amount interferes with the caramelizaiton. dont every poke that meat once it is seared with a fork....shame on you...lol. also, onions can absorb a large amount of liquid. so soak em in something that adds flavour, juice, wine, beer. etc. FINALLY. if you browned that roast properly, you dont need ANY canned broth. just get your simmering liquid. a crushed tomato works well, and leaves no strong tomato taste.

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your ideas. I hope my viewers read your suggestions! Thanks again.

--Betty :)

[edwelsh]

I loved your meal but I would make a roux to make the gravy don't like cornstarch gravy to much............but you are great.

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks for your comment! I have certain meat juices that I use cornstarch with and others that I use flour for making gravy. Likewise, I use milk in some and water or broth in others. I have tried lots of combinations, but I think most of my choices go back to learning to cook at my mother's elbow. Making the gravy for this dish with a roux would be great! I hope my viewers take note of your suggestion, and give it a try!!! Thanks for viewing and commenting!

--Betty :)

[kosh2001]

I know I'm going to sound dumb here but what is beef consomme, I've never heard of it before?

[DrunknShooter]

Consommé is clarified stock. You can usually find it in the canned soup section of your grocery store.

[kosh2001]

Thanks.

[bettyskitchen]

Comsomme is clarified stock. It is more concentrated than beef broth, and it also contains some gelatin. Thanks for your question--not dumb at all!

--Betty :)

[kosh2001]

Thanks!

[sweetiepie1018]

Hi Betty, thanks for making a crock pot dinner meal, it looks delicious. When I make it I will let you know how it turned out. Thank you so much. Rosemarie

[bettyskitchen]

You are very welcome for the crock pot dinner! We really enjoyed it, so it was great for us, too! Thanks for your request!

--Betty :)

[Patsymd]

Browning the meat before you use a crock pot is SO IMPORTANT. You are so good to show folks how to do that;; those extra 5-7 minutes are a real payoff when your company smiles at your yummy dinner :)

[bettyskitchen]

Thanks, Patsy! I don't always take time to do the browning, but it really does make a difference!  Thanks for noticing!

--Betty :)

[soonfully]

My inlaws always made their gravy with cornstarch I had forgotton. Looks like company dinner can I come over?? One think Betty it is 102 F here would never wear long sleeves eek!

[bettyskitchen]

Someone requested a crock pot dinner, and then I just decided it needed a bread and a salad. It looks like a lot more trouble than it was! The high here is 80 today--we don't even have the air conditioning on--and at night, sometimes it's a little cool for me! It will be getting warmer, though! I'm glad I reminded you about using cornstarch in gravy--it always turns out great1 Thanks for your comment!

--Betty :)
