Use tangy balsamic vinegar in this easy pot roast recipe for a change up on dinner.

I would rather eat a good pot roast over a grilled steak any day. That may be why I love my slow cooker so much. This Balsamic Beef Roast and Veggies is that perfect meal I dream of, I love to take a bite of meat, potato, and carrot all at the same time. Pure Heaven.

What is balsamic vinegar? Have you ever been to an Italian restaurant where they serve olive oil and vinegar to dip your bread in? That dark vinegar is Balsamic. The balsamic vinegar and beef go wonderfully together.

This is the balsamic I used, you can find it next to the other vinegars at the store.

I didn’t chunk up the carrots like I normally do.  I peeled these smaller organic carrots with the stems still on.  If I was going to use a bigger carrot, I would definitely chunk them up. These thin carrots look pretty on a dinner plate whole, but big giant carrots uncut would look like a cave man meal.

I moved the carrots over so you could see everything after it had cooked. Delicious!

This Balsamic Beef Roast and Veggies had my whole family’s approval! And the recipe made plenty for lunch the next day. What I love about this recipe is that it is made with healthy ingredients. Nothing artificial.

Next time I make this I am going to make gravy with the juices, don’t know why I didn’t think to do until after I was done eating. Though it was good with juice the meat juices.

      I cooked a roast slightly smaller than what you used for 7 hours on low and 1 hour on high, and while the roast looked done, the veggies were still hard and I needed to whip out my pressure cooker to ensure everything was done.

        Hi Katie, Yes it should do fine. Follow the directions for any roast and veggies that you find for the time. Will work fine.
