The Pot Roast that Turned into Beef Stew

The other day I had a great idea to use my dutch oven.  You see I have had the dutch oven for about two months now and haven’t even touched it.  It has been sitting in the kitchen as if it was a decoration and not something to actually cook with.  So I finally got the guts to use it and decided I would make a pot roast.

I have made many pot roasts before but always in a slow cooker.  I had never tried to make one before in a dutch oven.  So I added all of my ingredients and the roast.  It started to cook and the smell was amazing.  Now at this point K comes out of the bedroom and into the kitchen.  He is sniffing around.  You know what this mean…what ya cooking and when can I eat it?

The dutch oven did cook the roast much quicker then I thought it would, but not fast enough.  I chopped the potatoes and carrots and added them in.  Again K comes in and is sniffing around.  I too at this point was on the verge of hunger.  So instead of waiting till the roast was completely finished I decided to take it out.  I then proceeded to cut it into smaller pieces and toss it back into the pot so the whole dish would cook faster.  And it did.

The end dish had a great taste and we both ate two bowls full (Luckily our bowls aren’t too big or too deep).

And that is how The Pot Roast that Turned into Beef Stew…
