Crockpot Confusion {Recipe: Slow Cooker Coffee & Garlic Roast Beef}

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Yummly

As I was typing the title for this blog post this morning, I got stumped…. I used a Rival Crock-Pot to make the Coffee and Garlic Roast Beef for these sandwiches, but my fingers wanted to type crockpot. I went to my Facebook and Twitter friends to find out the important answer to this most critical question – Is it Crockpot, crockpot, crock-pot, slow cooker or slowcooker? What is this handy appliance really referred to as?

And you know what? You all are as confused as I am! The answers rolling in proved that we all are calling it completely different names. No matter what the appliance is called, I can tell you that it is an under-utilized little machine in my house. Every single time I use it, and remember how much it simplifies dinner, I vow to use it more and more.

My mother-in-law recently treated us to some tasty open faced shredded roast beef sandwiches. She made the roast beef in her crockpot / crock-pot / slow cooker and added a bottle of heavy stout beer. Those sandwiches were so good. I decided to test out her recipe but instead of using beer, I used a  bold coffee. You can’t really taste the coffee in this recipe (just like you couldn’t really taste the beer in hers) but the roast beef was so incredibly tender and rich in flavor. I’ve since made this recipe again and have turned my family into big roast beef fans.

Speaking of coffee, it’s time for a new Keurig K-Cup® Ambassador promotional code to share with you! AM0004-3571.

 Now, on to the recipe!

      Looks delicious sandwich. I haven;t tried a coffee on any of my dishes, think this one is a good way to start. Coffee is my fave drink whether hot or cold hence I thank you for sharing this recipe. Love lots, Cassy

    No matter what you call it or how you pronounce it, those roast beef sandwiches just ripped my soul apart, massaged it and braided its hair.

    LOVE.

    I use my crockpot weekly and I often use liners from Reynolds to help in the clean up!! There are some dishes that I know cleanup easy but for the ones that take more elbow grease to cleanup I have switched over to using the liners! Love them!! They are near the Reynolds Turkey Oven bags 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!http://www.reynoldspkg.com/reynoldskitchens/en/product.asp?prod_id=3200

    If you have the Rival machine, it is a crockpot/crock-pot. By any other maker, it is a slow cooker. Nice court battle in the 70s settled the matter. This looks so good. I love garlic and have been wanting to experiment with coffee for a while. Thanks for sharing this delicous recipe.

      My Rival from early 1970s reads: Crock-Pot, below that it says Slow.Cooker. Still works good, avocado green. I believe the cost way back then was $13.00.

    I made something very similar just last night, but now you have inspired me to try the crock pot roast with coffee next time. That was such a smart idea, Kristen. Now, kiss your brain. That is what we tell the kids, and it makes them smile every single time.

    Love the sound of using using bold coffee. Like your MIL I usually use a heavy stout like Guiness and then I add some Coke to it too. But I”m so trying your bold coffee for the next one.

    I have just started using my crockpot more because it seems like we never know when we will all sit down for dinner. Having the food in the crockpot means we can eat whenever we want! I love the idea of cooking a roast in coffee, very interesting. Thanks for the idea!

    Love this! We’re huge fans of roast beef. Just curious, do you use chuck roast or some other cut? I always buy chuck roast and am wondering if there is something out there I’m missing out on. 😉

    Beer + Beef combo’s a regular on our home and it’s always a hit. Now I wanna try your suggestion to use bold coffee (it really should be bold, no?). I’m excited! Oh, we call it crockpot.

    i’m making this right now for dinner tonight. it smells wonderful. i was not able to find one 5-6 lb roast (that’s HUGE!) so i used one 2.5 lb and one 2 lb roast. now i’m trying to work through the nutritional information (cause i’m weird like that) and i’m wondering how many servings you would guestimate this recipe yields? — yes, i know guestimate is not a word but, i like the way it sounds.

    I am the SAME WAY with my slow cooker! I always forget it exists! And I always prefer my mom’s from the 80s rather than the shiny new one we got, it just seems to work better.

    I always thought crock pot was the brand?

    Any recommendations on cuts of beef roast? Would an eye of round work okay? I’d prefer lean to fatty but wouldn’t want it to be tough.

      I think cooked slow and low should make an eye of round work ok for shredding. I used a rump roast, but that’s just because that’s what I had on hand!

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.

I can’t wait until travel becomes a regular part of life again. I’ve missed it so much!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!

There’s a lot of excitement in Kansas City as our beloved @chiefs head back to the Super Bowl this weekend! #runitback 🏈

It’s so strange because winning the super bowl last year was the last “normal” thing that happened before the pandemic hit. We went from a city full of excitement to shutting down and sheltering in place. Maybe when we win and bring the trophy home this year, it’ll be the start of something great. Let’s hope!

D is for... Dreary (and Dog)
February has always been my least favorite month. I have a special name for this month that may start with another not so nice F word...🤭.
.
In Kansas, the sun usually doesn't shine that often, it's cold, and just kind of gray and blah.
.
My indoor jungle makes me happy though...especially this space in my office. Houseplants almost makes me forget we’re in the “F” month 😂.
.
Also, my dog (my favorite d word) would not sit still for a picture when I had my tripod set up, but I finally caught her sitting on her bed and had to catch a picture with my phone. Swipe and you’ll see she is much overdue for a haircut.

B is for Books! Are you a big reader? I wasn’t really a reader growing up. Well, I take that back. In junior high I plowed through the Sweet Valley High series (anyone else?) 😊 And when I was in elementary school I would bust my butt to get to the highest level in the SRA Reading box before anyone else. But I wasn’t a kid who you’d find with their nose in a book, ever.
.

It wasn’t until I was an adult, and my kids began to sleep through the night, that I started reading for fun. Now, I read all the time and it’s one of my favorite pastimes. I love talking books with people and sharing recommendations. I really don’t watch TV, so books, especially right now, is my main form of entertainment.
.

This is why for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photography challenge, I knew that Books would be my B. It’s my favorite B word (beating out Bullet Journaling, Bread, Blankets, Be Happy, etc).
