I love the idea of throwing things into a slow-cooker in the morning and coming home to a tasty meal later in the day. Sometimes, though, slow-cooker recipes require lots of preparation to get started. Meat needs to be browned, vegetables need to be cut and liquids need to measured. My m
ornings are crazy enough without adding all of that to it! This recipe, however, requires very little prep. It’s hard to believe something so fast and easy could turn out so delicious.
This recipe uses a simple rub for the roast and then it simply cooks in it’s own juices. I swear it only takes about five minutes to get it cooking. What’s not to love about that!

Wow! My house smells wonderful. This recipe is a hit and I will make this again.
That homey smell of a pot roast is one of my favorite things about making one!

This looks fantastic and I will make today!
The sides you paired look wonderful! Can you tell me what they are are? I was guessing either cucumber or zucchini with carrot and maybe a cauliflower mash? Thank you!
It’s been a long time since I’ve made this recipe, but I’m fairly certain it was a salad with cucumber and a bit of carrot. I think the cauliflower mash had some cheese in it–maybe cheddar and probably butter and garlic.

Thank you so much! Can’t wait for dinner!
You’re welcome!
This was delicious! A meeting ran late last night, so it was paired simple with bakery bread and was wonderful.
Tonight, we had beef for dinner and used your recipes for smoked gouda cauli mash and sweet and sour cucumber salad (added tomatoes and cut all the veggies simply). What delicous foods! A total hit for my house of 7.
Thank you for the recipes!
You’re welcome! I love it when my recipes are a hit with the whole family.

If I were to include potatoes, carrots, and perhaps a few veggies, do you think I would need to add liquid or just let the roast juices do the trick? Thinking of going low for 8 hours.
Generally things in a slow-cooker tend to juice up a bit during cooking, but adding a cup of broth or so wouldn’t hurt.
