SLOW COOKER BEEF ROAST

How to Cook Slow Cooker Beef Roast | Beef Hoagies

It’s simple to make a roast beef in the slow cooker. From start to finish it takes about four hours.

First, you’ll want to sear the meat on the stove-top. I generously salted and peppered the meat before searing, then put it in the slow cooker on low.

It’s especially helpful if you have a meat thermometer that you can leave in the roast and go about your other chores.

Plan for leftovers!

One of the best things about cooking a large roast is you have leftovers for another meal.

1. For sandwiches on the second night, I reheated the roast along with the gravy in a saucepan.
2. I toasted hamburger rolls with provolone cheese on them as the meat was reheating.
3. You can saute onions and peppers for your sandwich or dress it however you prefer.

Tools to making this roast:

1. Slow Cooker
2. Tongs

Finally, Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary based on products used.

I updated this post from an earlier version. I made new photos and simplified the recipe instructions.
