the best sunday pot roast

When it is snowy and cold outside, sometimes there is nothing better than an easy slow cooker meal that fills the house with a sweet and savory aroma that lasts all day long. I love pot roast meals, and have tinkered with my favorite flavors over the past year to come up with my final (and in my view, *the best*) recipe.

I don't feel like you need to sear the meat before adding it to the slow cooker, so I skip the step to make it incredibly easy to make. I like to serve it with polenta or cauliflower rice, but I'm sure any side would be absolutely delicious.
