I am the first to say with all the demands on my time, I find it difficult to get a healthy meal on the table.
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 I do make the time, it is usually spent finding recipes and breaking them down to be cost effective and easy to prepare. But I do have a few old time favorites that I wouldn't dare dream of converting. This traditional Yankee Pot Roast Recipe is one of those.
It's a easy recipe with simple ingredients that can be adjusted according to your taste. That is one of the great benefits of using a crock pot. I wouldn't recommend changing a thing, it truly is a great recipe.
