Pot Roast

The trick to pot roast is to pick out the leanest one you can find and then trim away any extra fat. Red meat isn't the evil food that some "experts" make it out to be, just be sure to eat it in moderation.

3 lb beef roast (trim away the fat)
1 tsp. Salt
1/8 tsp. Pepper
1 clove garlic minced
2 carrots cut up
1 onion sliced
2 stalks celery sliced
4 medium potatoes cut up (These aren't exactly fat burners, eat in moderation.)
1 tbsp. parsley
½ cup water

Brown meat on both sides over medium heat in dutch oven. Add remaining ingredients.
Cook for 3 to 4 hours over low heat or transfer to a slow cooker.
