Harvest Crock Pot Roast

"Not your ordinary slow-cooker roast recipe, this is my autumn variation of the traditional Lipton's onion soup roast I grew up with. The garam masala blends with the cinnamon and apple flavors of the spicy cider, and the tart apples and vinegar add zing to vegetables and meat alike. The colors are beautiful, and it does fine with a cheap cut of meat; just remember to plan extra cooking time for tough meat. A great Halloween meal while doing last-minute costume preparation all day!"

  • Place roast in slow cooker with yam or sweet potato, squash, and apples piled around it.
