Why You’ll Love This Recipe

As a food blogger, I don’t repeat meals very often, but there are a few that my family does request on a regular basis, like Butter Chicken. This Slow Cooker Balsamic Glazed Roast Beef is another favorite that my family asks for often.

My youngest especially loves this roast. It’s so delicious, it’s hard not to indulge his frequent requests to make it.

Not to mention, it’s so easy to throw together. The slow cooker does most of the work, and then you step in at the end and whip up the balsamic glaze. So simple, yet nice enough for company or special occasions.

We also love this Brown Sugar and Balsamic Glazed Pork Loin, which is where I got the inspiration to create the glaze for this recipe.

The glaze has a wonderful sweet and tangy flavor that compliments the beef so well. My kids also love spooning some of the glaze over roasted potatoes, so I definitely recommend that as a side.

You can also throw some potatoes, carrots (or both!) into the slow cooker with your roast for a super simple, complete meal.

I’ve been making this balsamic roast beef since my kids were little, and they still love it as much today as they did back then. And the leftovers (if you have any) make for some fabulous sandwiches.

My husband and boys love a good pot roast and I’m pretty confident in saying that this Slow Cooker Balsamic Glazed Roast Beef is their favorite.
