Slow Cooker Balsamic Beef Pot Roast is tender and full of flavor!
Hello! I have a delicious beef roast recipe for you today. I made a version of this a few months ago but something wasn’t right, an idea came to me last week to try mixing balsamic with Italian dressing. What difference that made in this recipe and gave it a bit more moisture as well.
This Balsamic Beef Pot Roast was a delicious dinner and I love the long cooking time, it will be my go to on busy day. My husband made a beef sandwich for his leftovers the next day, he loved it. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family did. Have a great weekend.

Is it possible to cook this on high for all or part of the cooking time to speed it up?
Yes, on high will be fine. I usually do 5-6 on high for roasts.
I’m going to use Your recipe on the balsamic slow cooker pot roast, but I’d like to add carrots and potatoes, will it make the vegetables mushy? What do you recommend?
No! It will work great. Vegetables take just as long as the roast to soften, so they won’t be mushy.
