Description
You'll want to add this special-occasion roast to your repertoire. It's made in the slow cooker and frees up oven space for the rest of your dinner prep. Don't be tempted to skip browning the roast before adding it to the slow cooker; it adds deep flavor to the dish. Serve over creamy polenta or mashed potatoes to round out the meal. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Ashley Strickland Freeman.

The recipe was very simple to follow and provided great flavor to the roast!

Gravy turned out a little sweet and I cheated by pressure cooking on high for 40 minutes before slow cooking but very very tasty

We had this for our Christmas dinner along with mashed potatoes. It was so good! The gravy was amazing on the meat veggies and potatoes. This will be my go to pot roast recipe from now on

Everyone loved the roast - even the "chicken lovers"! The wine really did kick up the flavor. Will make it again.
