This easy crockpot pot roast is hearty and delicious!  

It's the perfect belly-warming food for those chilly nights!

It occurred to me recently that I had been imparting my food tastes upon my children.  If I don't like a particular food, I assume my kids don't either.  Shame on me, I've been sorely mistaken.

I served the kids their first Brussels sprouts two years ago.  Two years ago!  I always thought I hated Brussels sprouts until I made them myself.  Not only did I fall in love with them, but the kids did too!  I was shocked.  How could they like Brussels sprouts if I grew up despising them?  It hit me: it isn't what I was serving, it's how I was serving them.  Brussels sprouts were always good; it was just the way my mom prepared them that I didn't like!  This revelation changed everything.

This pot roast was another recipe revival.  My mom's pot roast was always bland and chewy.  I assumed all pot roasts were like this.  Then I made this recipe.  I love it; the family loves it, and I'm going to wager that you will love it too!

This crockpot pot roast starts with lightly browned chuck roast that rests on a bed of fingerling potatoes, parsnips, and carrots.  Crushed tomatoes, beef broth, and seasoning, will help flavor the meat and the vegetables.  The result is a robust tasting pot roast with fork-tender vegetables and savory beef.

I've happily partnered with the Ohio Beef Council to bring you this "Crocktober" recipe!.  This October, thousands of families across Ohio will buy beef. Ohioans spend $4.1 billion each year on beef, which is a healthy, high-quality protein choice.  Ohio beef farmers are committed to providing excellent care of their animals, protecting the environment for future generations and to producing safe, healthy beef. U.S. beef farmers have improved sustainability by 5 percent in the past six years to help feed a growing world population.

Crockpot beef makes for an easy, convenient weekday dinner that will help you spend more time around the table eating as a family and less time cooking. Just remember, when preparing beef in the slow cooker, it should be cooked to 160 degrees, or until it is fork tender.

This "Crocktober", the Ohio Beef Council will be giving away this Crockpot 6 Qt. Cook and Carry Slow Cooker.  All you have to do to be entered to win is leave me a comment telling me your favorite crockpot recipe!
