As a person who is always busy, I have found that slow cookers can be a real help. This Amish-style pot roast cooked in a slow cooker with vegetables is a filling and cozy dish that's great for busy weekdays or relaxing weekends. Coming from the basic but tasty traditions of Amish cuisine, this pot roast is a hearty meal that combines soft beef with a variety of root vegetables. It's the type of meal that feels like a comforting embrace at the end of a tiring day.
This pot roast goes great with some crunchy bread to soak up the tasty juices, or you can also serve it with a basic green salad to add some freshness to the dish. If you want to treat yourself, creamy mashed potatoes are a great side dish that will make your dinner complete and delicious.
