Sunday is a time for big family meals. With the modern world being so fast and busy, it can be hard to find time to sit down and have a proper meal with your family. Meal time is important; it allows parents to catch up on their kids' lives and bond with them.
It also gives you the opportunity to make sure your whole family is getting enough nutrition each day. Ordering fast food is great on some nights, but as a general principle you should try to cook at home whenever you can. Committing to having a home-cooked meal every Sunday is a great place to start.
This recipe for a Sunday family roast is perfect for the end of the weekend. You'll cook it in the crockpot, so you won't need to spend a lot of extra time in the kitchen cooking. Instead, you can relax with your family and make memories together. This recipe will need to cook for seven to eight hours, so you'll have plenty of time to do other things.
Along with the roast, this recipe includes classic ingredients like carrots, onions, and potatoes. You can't have a crock pot beef recipe without carrots and potatoes! We've chosen a variety of seasonings, as well, to make sure this roast has plenty of flavor.
