Easy CrockPot Beef Pot Roast Recipe
I make this once ever few months and it serves 4-6, so Danny and I have lunch for a couple days after I make it! It’s suuuper easy and just a “set it and forget it” type of recipe that you can just throw in before work and not worry about it. The beef turns out sooo juicy and the veggies super flavorful!
This is the CrockPot we have. Nothing fancy, but super cheap and comes with the dip warmer which is perfect for the small stuff! Even single-serve soups. I also use these CrockPot liners which saves a ton of cleanup time – CrockPots just seem to develop a film every time, so I’ve learned my lesson!

I have a super easy vegetable stock recipe here that you can make using your leftover scraps from cooking.
