Slow Cooker Pot Roast Recipe with Root Vegetables

by Patti Estep 2 Comments

Everyone loves the slow cooker because it makes our life easier. One of my “go-to”recipes is a slow cooker pot roast  with root vegetables, that is hearty and so satisfying, you won’t believe how easy it is to make.

Way back before crockpots were super popular, a friend of mine shared one of her family’s favorite meals called, ‘Busy Day Pot Roast.” This was made in a large oven roasting pan on low heat, so that at the end of the day, you could easily get dinner on the table will minimal effort.

I think originally she only used potatoes, onions and carrots, as the base, but I like to add other root vegetables like parsnips and turnips. Of course, you can switch it up any way you like. You can even add mushrooms, tomatoes and peppers.

Top it off with a package of Lipton’s french onion soup mix and you are good to go.

    Meh…I added a can of beef broth (did I miss liquid being added?) And even with the onion soup mix this was bland, yet easy to make. I liked that it had so many root vegetables, but I’d like to find something easy to make AND tasty.

      No Penni, I never add any liquid. That’s the beauty of a slow cooker. Sorry you didn’t think it was tasty. I suggest you add whatever spices and/or seasonings that you prefer. For example, you might add hot paprika or a BBQ rub etc…
