Recipe Tips
For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of tomato paste to the slow cooker before cooking. This will give the pot roast a deeper, more robust flavor. If you prefer your roast to be more on the spicy side, add some red pepper flakes or a teaspoon of chili powder to the rub.
This pot roast is also great for meal prepping. You can easily double the recipe and have leftovers for the week. This dish is also freezer friendly, so you can make a large batch and freeze it for later use.
