Slow Cooker English Roast

I love using my crockpot in the winter and for days that we’re in a rush.  Having dinner all prepped and done by 10 am makes for a peaceful evening and my house smells so good all day!

• 2-3 pound English Roast {aka chuck shoulder}
• 1 large white onion
• 1 carrot
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1.5 - 2 Tablespoons of Spices {I used salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, & a French spice mix}
• 1 1/3 cups of red wine {my fave is Trader Joe’s Cabernet Sauvignon, at $3 a bottle you can’t beat the flavor for cooking!}
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/3 cup balsamic or cider vinegar

 

Chop the white onion, one of the carrots, and four cloves of garlic and layer on the bottom of the slow cooker.

Put the English roast on top and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and spices.

Pour the wine, vinegar, & olive oil into the slow cooker, cover and turn on low.

Cook for 7-8 hours and enjoy!  I like to serve with potatoes and a vegetable or two.
