Hearty Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Pot RoastThere are many slow cooker pot roast recipes out there. Based on what I’ve tried, I’ve come up with this one – I love the thick, tasty gravy that develops, along with just the right combination of vegetables. You can adjust the quantities according to the size of your slow cooker, this recipe fills mine to capacity.
