In there means the crock pot. Flavorless and underdone.

Any saves out there? I'm thinking just start over in a regular
pot in the oven and add something. Anything.

It might not be tomorrow as there has been a death in the family.
But this roast needs serious help. Starting with liquid.

Continue in a normal pot, stove top is fine... for the liquid pour in a can of
beer. Add a couple bay leaf, 3-4 fat cloves garlic. Needs some herbs, parsley
and marjarom are good.... add plenty black pepper. I've no idea what's in your
fridge, check for any lonely veggies, perhaps an old turnip... pot roast is
clean up day. If you want you can plop in a small can tomato sauce. Simmer
slowly, until it feels tender when you fork it.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

You can shred the roast and let it simmer in the crockpot with some
good barbecue sauce. That would give it some more moisture and
flavor. I usually do this with leftover roast. It makes good
sandwiches and it freezes well.

Maybe slice it and simmer covered with beef broth, onions, garlic,
until it perks up.

I think putting it into a dutch oven and putting that into a 210F oven for a
few hours will do the trick. When the collagen dissolves you'll get that
delicious flavor!

My condolences on the loss.

The liquid will get the flavor boost when the connective tissue dissolves.
Low and slow in a dutch oven will do the trick.

Mmmm, beer. I just cooked up swedish sailor's stew tonite:

2lb beef cubes
5 whole potatoes, peeled
1 onion, peeled and quartered
3 carrots, halved then cut into 3" pieces
2 bottles Harp
salt to taste

2 1/2 hours at 450F and then left till the oven cooled. The aroma alone was
excellent!

I'd shred it up, mix it up with some nice tex-mex spices and serve in tacos
or burritos. Chop up the veggies too and mix with Spanish rice. It'd make
an awesome enchilada too.

First mistake is not browning to bring out the flavor. Second is using
beef stock. Pot roast can make its own flavorful stock. I'd try some
additives like red wine, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, or whatever you have
on hand. Only way to save the underdone is to cook it longer. That can be
done.

If it tastes flat, it needs salt. You could do more, but

Mom taught me that trick, and it can work wonders for recipe's where

Eeeeyahhhhh, I actually agree with Sheldon! The only change I would suggest
is what my kids call Simon and Garfunkel stew.......the spices are parsley,
sage, rosemary and thyme ....I toss in a bay leaf, s&p, and some garlic for
good measure.

If you don't want your kids to grow up with their taste in their ass start
teaching them now that sage and rosemary definitely don't go with beef... not
even thyme goes very well with beef... save all those for the pork, lamb and
fowl. Never did like Simon and Garfunkel, now I know why.

A crock pot is a device for saving iron pans from tomato sauce and for
serving - not for cooking meat and expecting flavor. No searing and too low
a temp for decent roast. A couple of sage leaves should take out that
boiled blood flavor.

You said underdone - if the meat is grey thru, put it in with a couple sage
leaves and a can or two of manwich and slow cook it for six hours - and
serve it on buns.

If the beef is red in the middle, cut it in half or quarters and sear the
red to brown (after grey) in some oil in an iron pan. Remove meat and add a
large thick sliced onion to the pan and fry, stirring until just dark. (add
oil if needed)

Put the meat back in on top of the onions, layer the carrots on and around
the meat and the potatoes on top, put in some parsley on top and a couple of
sage leaves on the side, add a cup of water, cover with heavy lid, and
simmer on the stove for about three hours (or in the oven at 325 for 3-4
hours).

fwiw

I know you must feel both sad and relieved. Sending you vibes for strength
to get through this difficult time.

Reminds me of a dreadful experience we had about 30 years ago, which I
still remember vividly. We were staying with some people we didn't know
very well. They got home from work, fairly late, and the wife announced
that she was making pot roast. Now, I know that you don't come home late
and cook a pot roast from scratch, not for *that* night anyway. She
didn't seem like the type who would appreciate a helpful hint, so we
didn't say anything. She browned it nicely, but then only cooked it for a
half hour or so. It was pretty much inedible due to toughness, but I
forced down a few bites for the sake of politeness. There was quite a bit
left over, as you can imagine!

# 1 Shred it, add your favorite Q sauce and water 60% sauce and 40%
water, heat and serve on Hamburger buns with a slice of cheese.

# 2 Make roast beef hash...

# 3 Got any dogs?

How are you going to shred it? It's underdone, meaning it's tough like leather.

Oh, leave her alone Shel... one of the best pot roasts going
is made with a good dollop of cream sherry!

Dump the roast and put Ron on a spit.....turn slowly and joyfully over the
hot coals.....just like a hot dog......do this with lots of
'relish'.....(big grin....same lame joke told in theology class in college
by professor teaching on cannibalism).
