Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Slow Cooker Pot Roast is a combo of tender meat, tons of veggies, flavorful sauce... easy to make, nourishing comfort food goodness

I love my slow cooker. Love love love it.

It makes life so easy and so tasty.

Last January I did slow cooker week and posted a week's worth of recipes using the slow cooker. It was a hit, so I am doing it again.

I am starting off the week with one of my favorites, Pot Roast.

A good pot roast is hard to beat, really hard to beat. And this recipe turned out just like I wanted it to. Tender meat, tons of veggies, flavorful sauce... comfort food goodness.

I highly recommend making this if you like pot roast. It's filling, warming, and delicious. I love all the veggies in the sauce. It's also allergy-friendly ~ no gluten, eggs, dairy, or soy.

I based the recipe off this one from Real Simple and made a few changes. I added mushrooms, skipped the celery {because I didn't feel like going to the store ha}, increased the tomato paste, and used beef broth instead of water.

I thought it turned out excellent, and this will definitely be a recipe in my regular rotation. It also freezes really well and leftovers are really yummy.
