Beef Pot Roast — Adrien Petersen

I finally bought myself a slow cooker this past Sunday and I'm already obsessed. Why I hadn't purchased one sooner, I don't know. I enjoy cooking, but a slow cooker just makes meals thats much easier! I love the idea of throwing in all the ingredients, setting the temperature and time, and then leaving it cooking for the day or overnight. My pot roast I cooked overnight, so I was able to bring some to work for lunch.

There are tons of recipes out there for pot roasts. Knowing this was my first recipe and my first pot roast ever made in my slow cooker, I wanted to keep it simple. Next time I'll add a little more flare.

PS- I scored a great deal at Whole Foods with the majority of my ingredients. They had a deal going that if you purchased the roast, you got the beef broth, a bag of rainbow potatoes and a loaf of ciabatta bread for free! In addition, I purchased carrots, onion, garlic, and spices in order to follow the recipe. The only thing I left out of the recipe was the red wine.
