Healthy Beef Pot Roast

As you all know, I've been trying to cook healthier meals with both myself and the hubby trying to get in shape. Here is a recipe that I found at www.momswhothink.com. I decided to post it here on the blog so that I could list any changes that I made.

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons water
  • 2 1/2 pounds beef chuck roast, boneless
  • 2 cups hot water
  • 1 cube beef bouillon
  • 2 Tablespoons orange juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice*
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 McCormick's Grill Mates Smokehouse Maple Seasoning
Directions:
  1. Simmer onion until tender in 2 tablespoons water in heavy, deep skillet.
  2. Add roast to skillet; brown on sides.
  3. Combine beef bouillon cube with 2 cups hot water; stir until dissolved.
  4. Combine orange juice, allspice, pepper, seasoning and beef broth. Pour over meat. Cover and simmer, about 2 hours.
Now for the cooking changes:
  1. Toss onion in a 3-qt. crock pot. Add roast.
  2. Combine beef bouillon cube with 2 cups hot water; stir until dissolved.
  3. Combine orange juice, allspice, pepper, seasoning and beef broth. Pour over meat. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 5-6 hours.

* If you do not have allspice at home, don't fret! Here is a recipe to make your own: Combine 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon ground gloves for each teaspoon of allspice needed.
