I haven’t actually tasted the original, but based on the reviews I read online, this is spot on. It was quick and super easy to recreate. If you are sick of eating the same proteins, give this a try.

Slow Cooker "Melt in Your Mouth" Pot Roast

The vegetables are cooked just right and are full of flavor. The seasonings are simply spot on and the broth yields a fabulous gravy-like sauce that is divine when poured over everything prior to serving.

This sweet potato casserole is perfect for your holiday meals! I love Ruth's Chris version and this one is just as good. It is more a dessert than a side dish, but its so good. If you have it for a dessert, add vanilla ice cream and its even a bigger hit!
