SLOW COOKER POT ROAST RECIPE
As most of you know, we started a new section on the blog with our slow cooker recipes. We have had so much fun working with our slow cooker. So many families, due to time constraints, get into a rut of making the same meals week after week. With all of us knee deep in work, homework, and extracurricular activities, we have found this to be very beneficial to our family. Not only is this a time saver, but it is also saving us money as we no longer have to pick up fast food and can still have a delicious home cooked meal. The prep time on these meals is minimal and most can be prepared the night before. The best part about the slow cooker pot roast recipe is the longer it cooks the more tender the meat becomes. Having dinner as a family is important to us and preparing these slow cooker recipes is allowing us to eat together nightly.
