NotesI used a roast from frozen. To be honest, I rarely plan ahead for meals. Therefore, when I made this last weekend, I dug in the freezer to see what what there. (I know, one would think that I was a planner!). There was a beautiful beef roast. It was a perfect day to take out the slow cooker and let the dinner cook the day away…little effort country goodness.
