Crock Pot Pot Roast with Guinness
by Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
One of my favorite Irsh beers is Guinness. It is a very dark beer that is made by roasting barley to achieve that roasty, coffee-like flavor it has. It was first made in the mid 1700’s at St. Jame’s Gate brewery in Dublin. It has been popular ever since and is still one of Ireland’s best selling beers.
It is exceptionally good for cooking, and part of that stems from the creaminess it has as well as the deep rich flavors from the roasting of the barley. Used with Irish inspired recipes, it makes a great addition for cooking foods for St. Patrick’s Day, but the benefits of the flavors make it great for cooking any time.
For a warm, hearty, homestyle meal, this roast with it’s accompaniment of mushrooms and other vegetables make it great to serve for dinner with buttered noodles or mashed potatoes for a real taste of home. It also freezes well for reheating later, which is good to know especially if you have a small family.
