Pot roast is a classic comfort dish that many people like to savor on a cool night. Plus, since it is easy to jazz up the meal with vegetables and potatoes, you can enjoy a protein, vegetables, and starch all in one convenient and delicious dish. One of the best ways to make pot roast is in a slow cooker, as beef that is cooked slow and steady is often juicy, flavorful, and practically melts in your mouth.
