Zesty Slow Cooker BBQ Beef Roast

This is a great sauce – I mixed it up, poured it over a beef roast, and let the slow cooker take care of the rest.

Time to prep slow cooker: 2 minutes.

Served with some baked sweet potatoes.

Time to prep potatoes to bake: 2 minutes.

And some steamed green beans from the garden (they keep coming and coming and coming…)

Time to prep: 5 minutes.

Seriously, a very hands off meal to prepare! Just needs time in the slow cooker and in the oven!

(Oh, and the other half of the beef roast went into the freezer!)
