Slow Cooker Pot Roast is a recipe I love to make for Sunday Dinner, it’s so nice to throw it in the slow cooker Sunday morning and then forget about it all day long 🙂
I hope you all have really fun weekend plans and have a easy going Friday to start it off!
Love,

It looks so yummy. Did you cook the potatoes in the crock pot too?
I am ready for turkey, but this sounds wonderful to me. My husband never ate pot roast so we never had it. My mom made a great one for Sunday dinner with a coconut cream pie for dessert. I’m getting hungry just thinking about this. Drop by my kitchen and leave a recipe for our Holiday Cookie Exchange. https://www.tumbleweedcontessa.com/blog/2012-cookie-exchange-cookies-and-memories/
You’ll love this recipe and tomorrow’s too… a great idea for using up pot roast leftovers!! xoxo~Ruthie
