Cup of Yum
Notes
- I used a 5 pound roast, you can certainly use a smaller roast if you don't think your family will eat that much meat. The excess sauce is delicious to reserve for mashed potatoes!
- Want to make this a freezer meal? Easy. Cook the beef as directed then transfer to a freezer safe bag, juices and all. Thaw in the fridge and reheat to have a nearly instant dinner next time you need it.
- Time saving tip: whisk the ingredients for the sauce together on the weekend when you have a few minutes, then store in the fridge. When you're ready to cook the beef, just pour the contents into the slow cooker and proceed as directed. A perfect hack for preparing a slow cooker meal in the morning!
