Slow Cooker Spice-Braised Pot Roast
My husband and I have been trying out new Slow Cooker recipes every weekend to see if we can find some new favorites to add to our dinner rotation. We tried this Spice-Braised Pot Roast a few weekends ago and it was really good. I liked the egg noodles (you could use gluten free noodles too) as a change from mashed potatoes that we have with the Mississippi Pot Roast and the use of a blend of spices. It was really good and we will definitely be making it again!
Next up, we are going to be trying a lighter corn chowder and a chicken slider instead of our family favorite pulled pork. Do you have any go-to slow cooker recipes? Please share them in the comments – we are always looking to try a winner!
