Slow-simmered and seasoned with rosemary, mustard and thyme, this tender and tasty crock pot roast and potatoes recipe is so easy to make and always a hit. Substitute burgundy or brandy plus a half-cup of water for the broth…the aroma of this English roast recipe is wonderful! —Jeannie Klugh, Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Test Kitchen Tips

Roasting is one of the healthiest methods for cooking vegetables. It often uses less fat than sautéing and helps retain more nutrients than boiling would.

A thrifty alternative to purchased garlic salt is to mix up your own: Just combine 1 teaspoon garlic powder with 3 teaspoons of table salt or other fine-grained salt. The ratio works the same for onion salt, too.
