Crocked Cajun Roast

5 out of 5 Stars

Hi Everyone! It's been a little while since my last post, but hopefully you'll enjoy this latest review.

This recipe is wonderful! For you slow cooker fans, this one's for you! I cooked the roast for the full 10 hours in the crockpot - falling apart tender! I thought it was going to be spicy, but it wasn't at all. It tasted like a traditional roast, but with the mildest creole hint that made it so rich and flavorful! I definitely recommend this recipe!  It is sooooo easy: you simply rub down the roast with the seasoning, toss it and a few ingredients in the crockpot, set to low and you're done for 8 to 10 hours. (The recipe called for 1 onion, but I only used a half because that's what I had!)
We enjoyed this sliced and served with mashed potatoes and black eyed peas (we had a TON of peas leftover from the New Year's Day tradition, so we froze them. We'll probably be eating black eyed peas as a side with every meal until next New Year's.). We poured some of the au jus from the crockpot over the potatoes as a gravy - delish! I'm not for sure yet, but I have a sneaky suspicion the leftovers will make some pretty tasty sandwiches tomorrow! You'll definitely want to give this a try!
