When the post-holiday haze sets in, and cooking feels like the last thing you want to think about, this slow-cooker pot roast is the kind of cozy, comfort meal that delivers every time. 

Erin McDowell’s mom first got a version of this recipe from a coworker, who recommended it for people wanting something easy and comforting at the end of a long workday.

The recipe utilizes a slow cooker, a device that allows individuals to prepare their meals in the morning and then safely cook them throughout the day, so they can come home to a hot, ready-to-eat dinner.

McDowell’s mom has been consistently making this slow-cooker meal for over 10 years, and her spin on the original recipe involves adding carrots and mashed potatoes as a side dish.
