Growing up I started relating Sundays with roast because we always had roast for dinner. Mom would put the roast along with oodles and oodles of veggies into the roaster right before church. Then we would come home three hours later and magically it would be ready. I love those childhood memories.To this day I love having roast for dinner. Whether it be Sunday afternoon or a Wednesday evening, a roast with veggies is one of those meals that is just timeless. This recipe is made in the crock pot and super easy. I love recipes where all you have to do is throw everything in and leave it to work its magic.
