This is one of the simplest, and our favorite, combination  of a delicious beef roast and vegetables. You can always change up the vegetables to whatever you have on hand.

I have to admit that I am not using my slow-cooker as regularly as I really should ~ the best food is made in a slow-cooker after all !

Besides the rub and searing of the Beef Roast, this is a dump-and-go recipe which I always like. No fuss every 10 – 15 minutes, by adding ingredients, or stirring is needed.

Just leave it to do it’s thing in the slow-cooker while you go on ahead and do whatever you need to do without worrying about how dinner is coming along.

Is a 3lbs (1.5kg) roast enough for 5 people?

Yes, Ria, it will be enough - plus minus 250 grams ( 6 oz ) per person for 5 people (cooked weights)

I love a good pot roast and can't wait for the weather to change so we can enjoy food like this. Although, I guess since this is done in a crock pot, I don't have to wait for cooler temps, do I?!

My favorite part of a pot roast, though, is the carrots that soak up all the delicious juices.

Thank you for stopping by and linking, Linda.

Absolutely love our slow cooker, and we don't use it enough either! It's perfect tho for these winter months.

Love that this meat falls apart...it's the best way!

Thanks for linking up to Marvelous Monday on Smart Party Planning :-)
