Slow Cooker Yankee Pot Roast Recipe
By Masil Nosacki | February 27, 2009
Finding the time to prepare a warm meal that is hearty, healthy and easy can be a challenge with our busy lives. Even more difficult is finding a slow cooker recipe that fits our budget. I believe that having a great crock pot roast recipe is a best way to solve the dinnertime on a budget dilemma.
Crock pot cooking really is the easiest way to get dinner done and get on with life. I know that if I get our family meal prepared first thing in the morning, I get to enjoy more time with the family that night. And it get’s better, the crock pot cooking method is a great way to save money.
When time permits, I find great recipes and convert them to fit within my food budget and time management but there are some great recipes that just cannot be changes. This Yankee Pot Roast Recipe is one of those. My family has prepared this exact recipe for as long as I can remember.
It’s a simple recipe, the ingredients are basic and of course with crock pot cooking you can add and omit as to your preference but my recommendation would be to leave it alone, its that good.
