Pot Roast 3, Dulce De Leche Bars

Hi everyone!

Tomorrow we are having Pot roast for dinner.  I'm planning to use a Sirloin Tip Roast for the meat.  On the side we'll be having roasted potatoes.

Pot Roast 3
(CTMom06)

3-4 lb pot roast
Adobo seasoning
2 tbsp olive oil
2 beef boullion cubes
1 large sweet onion
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
1 can Cream of Celery Soup
1 pkt dry onion soup mix
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup water
2 dry whole bay leaves

Sprinkle Adobo seasoning all over roast. Sear each side in a hot pan coated with the olive oil. Crumble boullion cubes into bare crock pot. Slice-up onion and put on bottom of the crock pot. Place seared roast on top of the sliced onions. Cover roast with cream soups and dry onion soup mix. Pour wine and water over roast. Add bay leaves to crock pot. Cook on low heat for 8-10 hours. Remove bay leaves, slice and serve with potatoes. Makes lots of extra gravy!

4. Spread caramel mixture evenly over crust. Crumble remaining dough mixture evenly over caramel. Bake 20 to 25 minutes longer or until light golden brown. Cool 1 hour. Run knife around sides of pan to loosen bars. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.

Pot Roast - This wasn't too bad at all. If you like a lot of gravy with your pot roast, you will love this. I added some potatoes in with the roast and that worked well.

Dulce de Leche Bars - These are really decadent and delicious but I don't think I'll make them again. They are really hard to get out of the pan. It might work better to put foil in the pan and then when they're completely done you could pull that out of the pan. When they were cold from the fridge, they were impossible to cut. I let them sit out a few hours and then they were a lot easier to cut. They were delicious, don't get me wrong. Everyone who ate one loved them!
