I have this incredible urge to run around shouting, “It’s Fall, y’all!” because… it’s FALL, y’all!!! Bring out the Crock Pots and slow cookers, bring on the pot roast, bring on the cinnamon, comfort foods, cute boots, and cooler weather.
please, please, please bring on the cooler weather.
My calendar tells me it’s Fall, our football and cheer schedules tell me it’s Fall, my desire to make scrumptious, comfort foods like this quick and easy slow cooker pot roast tell me that it’s Fall 
Texas weather has yet to get the memo, though.
I need Texas to get the Fall memo, it’s about time to break out the boots, and 3/4 sleeve shirts, and even the occasional denim jacket with boots and dresses!
Back to slow cookers and pot roast, because this one’s for all my busy teacher friends who’ve requested easy slow cooker recipes.
In trying to make the quickest, easiest, most delicious slow cooker pot roast that would work for everyone, I made this 4 times in 2 weeks. THIS is the one that Nathan, Princess, and Monkey declared their favorite. As in they ate it, all of it, and asked for more, and asked when I was making it again. I made it again, my mom ate it and complimented me on it. YAY! WIN!
Slow Cooker Pot Roast for EVERYONE!
This pot roast absolutely falls to pieces, it melts in your mouth, you barely need 2 forks to shred it. The flavors are subtle, but they tantalize the taste buds. Scrumptious, easy, and Fall fabulous!
