Crock Pot Cajun Pot Roast

Recipe #78122 | 7½ hours | 30 min prep | add private note

By: Pierre Dance
Dec 6, 2003

In the late 1960's I got this from a small Restaurant outside of Houma Louisiana. I remember I "oiled" the cook's vocal cords with a lot of cold Jax Beer to finesse the recipe out of him. About the only thing I've changed is re figuring it for the crock pot.

I liked this a lot. Like someone else had mentioned, I was looking for something different to do with a chuck roast, and this was perfect. I'm big on flavor and a lot of online recipes can be rather bland. I don't know if that's to appeal to a larger audience or what, all I know is I've been disappointed by more recipes than pleased. This one didn't disappoint. If you are bored with traditional pot roast, give this a shot. Plenty of flavor, but not so far from traditional pot roast that you should feel you're going into uncharted territory.

    This recipe was awesome! I followed the recipe exactly except that I added a little brown sugar to the tomatoes. The juice was so delicious. Just spicy enough but not too hot. My kids loved it, even my pickiest eater. The next day I shredded up the leftover meat and put it in the gravy and mixed in a new batch of rice and made like a casserole. My family ate every bite, nothing was wasted. Thank you so much for this great recipe, I will be making it often.

    THIS is killer pot roast. LOVED it. Served it with baked potato. I'm freezing the leftover sauce for a quick side spooned over brown rice. I should think any cut of pot roast would work. Only change I made was to cook on high for 4 hours rather than low.

    Wonderful pot roast. I added 1 teaspoon sugar, to cut acidity of tomatoes, and 1 minced garlic clove to the tomato/stock ingredients. Mixed the flour with the cayenne, black pepper and salt 'rub' ingredients before browning the roast. Thanks for a great 'keeper' recipe.
