Frequently Asked Questions
In place of the rump roast, you can use chuck roast, brisket or top round roast. If having a difficult time locating “rump roast” at the store, look for “bottom round roast” as these names are often interchanged.
Roasts can become tough if they are not cooked long enough or if they have been overcooked. Typically, the case is the roast hasn’t been cooked long enough. If still tough after the 8 hours, extend the time another 1-2 hours then recheck.
One of the best features of this recipe (other than the flavor!) would be the versatility of the dish. Instead of potatoes, you can use any other root veggie such as sweet potatoes, parsnips or rutabagas. Instead of beef broth, you can use vegetable stock, red wine or gluten free beer.
Kids In The Kitchen
Cooking tips and suggestions for kids making this recipe.
- If there is not a timer on your slow cooker, set the timer on the stove or microwave as a reminder to check on the roast.
- The potatoes and carrots should all be sliced roughly the same size to help the vegetables cook evenly.
- Use an oven mitt to remove the lid from the slow cooker when done – it may be hot!
Recommended Tools To Make This Recipe
Slow Cooker. This is the slow cooker I own. I really like that after cooking it automatically switches to hold the food at warm.
Cutting Board. I really like this cutting board because it’s dishwasher safe and has grippy material around the outside to help it stay in place while chopping.
Chefs Knife. I waited a long time to buy this knife. I’ve learned I don’t need to buy a full set of knives, but rather spend the money on the knives most used. It’s worth it.
