Best Slow Cooker Pot Roast Recipe | Only 6 Ingredients
Trust me when I say, this is NOT your average pot roast recipe.
You are only 6 ingredients away from The Best Slow Cooker Pot Roast Recipe ever. And you won’t believe what secret ingredients I have in store for this amazing roast today. Make this Easy Crock Pot Roast in just a few minutes of prep – with a whole meal that the family will enjoy.
Sometimes the best recipes are the simplest recipes. As a mom, blogger and cook for my family, it can easy to overthink a recipe – add more things just because you want it to be new, unique and delicious. But it’s surprising just how amazing a recipe can be when you scale back….or perhaps in this case get desperate.
So this recipe came to be because Sirloin Tip Roast happened to be on sale…and I forgot to buy the seasonings. (I was completely distracted at the store. A toddler will do that to you.) So I was digging in the depths of my pantry when I discovered a few seasoning packets. 3 to be exact.
So taking a chance (hey, it worked for Columbus!), I rubbed all 3 packets of seasoning onto my roast, said a prayer, and turned on my slow cooker. A few hours later, the whole family was digging into my happy accident meal. Ready to make your family’s new favorite crockpot roast? Don’t forget the slow cooker liners!
