    SLOW COOKER BAVARIAN POT ROAST — Beef roasts simmers in the slow cooker in a tomato based beef broth, with the juices made into a delicious gravy for serving.


    Slow Cooker Bavarian Pot Roast

    There’s nothing more comforting than a tender beef pot roast on a chilly fall day, and this Slow Cooker Bavarian Pot Roast is a delicious take on an old favorite.

    There are a few things that make this pot roast stand out from the rest, including the tomato sauce, and an interesting blend of spices that includes a hint of cinnamon and ground ginger.

    I know…..it sounds a little strange, but trust me, the results are amazing! And since it cooks all day in the slow cooker, the meat always comes out tender and juicy.

    My husband often requests pot roast for dinner. He even requested it for his Father’s Day meal! And this version is one of his favorites.

    Pot roast also reminds me of Sunday dinners growing up as a kid. I’m sure the nostalgia makes it taste even better.

    Slow Cooker Bavarian Pot Roast

    Some people use beer instead of beef broth in this recipe, but since I don’t drink alcohol, beer isn’t something I ever have on hand. I’m sure a combination of beer and broth would also work well.

    And yes, you can add potatoes and carrots to the slow cooker, along with the roast, to create a complete meal.

    I almost always opt to add the potatoes and carrots, because then my main dish and sides are ready all at once. I just love the simplicity of a one pot meal.

    And don’t skip the step of thickening the cooking liquid to make a gravy. It takes about five extra minutes and is totally worth it! Especially if you’ll be serving potatoes on the side.

    If you’re looking for a meal that’s easy to make, but hearty and satisfying, you’ll definitely want to give this Slow Cooker Bavarian Pot Roast a try soon!


    Be sure to save this Slow Cooker Bavarian Pot Roast recipe to your favorite Pinterest board for later.
