Slow Cooker Balsamic Beef and Onion Pasta

Remember the Slow Cooker Beef Roast with Balsamic Onions?!?

Well, you should just bookmark it now and make it next time you have a beef roast on hand. Or better yet, toss it with some pasta and might I say you won’t regret it!

I used up a BOGO beef roast from the freezer, a yellow onion and some $.50/box pasta. Along with half of a $1 green pepper and a $.99 Romaine lettuce head with a homemade salad dressing for the salad.

Yum.

That is all I have to say.

Yum. Yum.
