This week's recipe is courtesy of . This is a cozy beef and vegetable pot roast recipe is perfect for fall! This recipe is great because once you prep everything and throw it in your slow cooker, it just cooks for 10-12 hours until the beef is tender! No need to fuss with it! You can customize the recipe by adding vegetables or seasoning of choice. If you want to make the recipe vegetarian, swap beef broth for vegetable broth and add 1-2 cans of beans in place of the beef. If making the recipe vegetarian, reduce cook time just until potatoes are soft. Try this one out at home, and let us know what you think!
