Freezer Meal: Paleo Turnip, Beet & Potato Roast
If you are preparing this to freeze and cook at a later time, it is very simple to get started. Thoroughly wash all vegetables. If you prefer, you may spend some time peeling the beets and turnips at this point.
We leave the skin on them, but some prefer to remove it. Cut the beets and turnips into quarters, and place those in a large freezer bag with the meat and potatoes.
When you are ready to cook this meal, remove it from the freezer 24-36 hours before you would put it into the Crockpot. While it is sealed in a bag, you may want to thaw it in a dish just in case any juices dripped out.
Pour your bag of ingredients into your Crockpot the morning you want to make this meal. Add in the beef stock, onion puree, and red wine as listed in the directions below. Season to your preference with things like garlic powder, onion powder, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.
You'll cook on low for around 8 hours, but some slow cookers will run hot and may need to stop cooking earlier or cook on a higher heat setting.
