Slow Cooker Herb Pot Roast
Today I spent my day with my Aunt and cousins. They came early and we had lunch together, visited our local lighthouse and did some shopping. We planned on being gone for most of the afternoon so today I needed a meal that would take care of itself. That means cooking in my Ninja 3 in 1 slow cooker. A little prep work in the morning and dinner was completely ready by 5:30. When I came home the house smelled of Pot Roast, best air freshener there is!
Start by peeling carrots and potatoes and place them into the slow cooker. Pour in one can of beef broth.Add an onion and sprinkle with herbs. Place the roast on top of the veggies and sprinkle with more herbs.
Put the lid on and cook on low for 8-10 hours. The roast should fall apart with a fork when it’s done. The carrots, onion and potato will be cooked to perfection!
