We all need simple dinner ideas and using the crockpot is the best method for such. Preparing this easy crockpot roast recipe first thing in the morning for a slow simmer throughout the day is my idea of the perfect Sunday meal.

When looking for a roast, I always find great deals on pork roast. The recipe is very easy and only requires a few main ingredients. By serving the roast with rice, you don’t have the hassle of peeling and chopping vegetables. This can be a great way to save money as veggies can get expensive during off season.

If you want the traditional crockpot roast with potatoes and veggies then just simply add 3-4 cut up potatoes,2 large carrots cup up and 2 stalks of celery. Of course what you add is optional and that’s the best part of cooking in the crock pot, you can add whatever you want.
