    slow cooker beef roast with apples

    While I love beef roasts in the oven, especially for the holidays, I super-duper-love beef roasts made in the slow cooker for everyday meals, or for Sunday supper.

    Comfort. Warm. Hearty. Flavorful.

    And affordable too.

    I may purchase a nicer cut of roast for a holiday feast, but for everyday meals a round roast will do just fine. And my frugal cooking heart does a leap whenever I see beef roasts advertised for $2.49 per pound, or even $2.79 per pound.

    A 1 to 1 1/2 pound roast is plenty for our family, but I usually buy one that is a little larger so that we will have some leftovers for roast beef sandwiches, shredded beef sandwiches, or shredded into soup that calls for beef stew meat.

    And don’ forget to save the left over broth in the slow cooker. Just strain it, let it cool, skim off any fat from the top and then transfer to a freezer safe container. Freeze the portions to use in soups that call for beef broth.

    I adore the flavor combination of the apples and pearled onions in this meal. ADORE!
