Happy New Year! Since it’s actually a bit cooler now in Southern California, here’s a nice roast recipe to warm you up.
Crockpot recipes are super easy, and this one is no different. I hardly use mine anymore now that I have the Instant Pot (it truly does it all!), but it’s nice when you need a bigger pot for your meat or have to serve more people.
The meat practically fell apart with the touch of a fork after it was done cooking– just the way meat should be.
You can serve this recipe with some rice, a salad, or some roasted greens. That’s dinner done in no time!
