But my husband LOVE pot roast!
So…I’m on a journey to create pot roast recipes that appeal to the BOTH of us. Recipes that bring me joy when my husband want me to make a pot roast instead of begrudgingly writing the ingredients onto next week’s grocery list.
And by golly, I think I’ve done it!

Slap on some seasoning, add veggies, pour in the sauce, and into the slow cooker it goes! A few hours later you’ve got a delicious dish that’s perfect with mashed potatoes or rice! Yum!
