Recently, I had a lot of requests for crock-pot recipes; so get ready – they are definitely coming your way! Sometimes when I don’t feel like cooking or when I have a ton of housework, I like to pull out my crock-pot. When kids were still babies and I used to work outside of the home, crock-pot was my best friend. We would come home to an amazing dinner that only took me 5 minutes to prepare.

This beef roast can be served with mashed potatoes, in sandwiches or quesadillas. The next day we used it in Quick Cheesy Tortilla Pockets. It made a perfect quick lunch.

I would recommend leaving the crock-pot in the garage or a balcony, so the house doesn’t smell like a beef roast, even though the smell of beef roast is quite heavenly.
