One thing I look forward to when fall weather hits is making pot roast in the slow cooker. Oh the smells wafting through the kitchen all day as the meat slowly roasts is amazing. Cuddling up with a blanket and reading a good book while the slow cooker does the work for you is utter genius. Genius I tell ya.
When I saw Shugary Sweets post for her balsamic shredded beef I knew I had to try it. But if I’m going to put something in the slow cooker. I want it to be a one pot meal is possible. So I added some potatoes and carrots to the dish. Yumm. mmy.
Even my cousin Kyle and his college roommates would have to agree with that assessment I’m sure. They were the recipients of this dinner and I can’t wait to cook for them again.
