The BEST Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Once upon a time, I was trying to figure out how to make the best pot roast in a crockpot. I was trying to figure out how to make a juicy roast by searing it, marinating it, injecting it, and so on and nothing was really hitting the spot for me. So I did what any normal person would do after an extended period of failures — I gave up. 

Okay, maybe everyone doesn’t give up, but I just decided that maybe a beef roast wasn’t my thing. I took up pork and it totally went well. We made carnitas, tender shredded Kalua pork and finally a juicy shredded beef. But it still didn’t taste like that classic pot roast. And the gravy wasn’t that brown gravy I wanted.

And then I tried this easy slow cooker pot roast and I have been sold ever since! The beef is tender and juicy. It creates wonderful drippings that make the best gravy.

Easy French Toast Recipe

When I was about seven or eight, my uncle came to visit — my dad’s cool brother with the convertible we all loved riding in. One morning my mom made French toast, and I watched in disbelief as Uncle Richard skipped the maple syrup, grabbed the homemade raspberry syrup, and then piled on the powdered sugar. Mom didn’t say a word.

So, naturally, I followed his lead. I stretched my skinny little arm across the table, grabbed the powdered sugar, and absolutely covered my French toast. It was amazing.

These days I just add a light dusting, but it still makes me laugh how much other people shape our food habits. Years later, I was at a friend’s house when his mom offered me French toast… with cheese.

Cheese?! On French toast?! My brain said no — cheese belongs in eggs or on breakfast sandwiches, not soaking in custard. But of course I tried it, and one bite completely won me over. It didn’t make sense, but it was delicious.

I never did figure out exactly how she made it, but I’ll tell you this—that moment kicked off my lifelong love of sweet and salty flavors.

• Cinnamon (optional): Adds warmth and subtle spice, gi
