Thank you for a pot roast recipe that skips ranch seasoning and au jour packets that contain msg. Cooking time seems long for the vegetables. Have you tried adding them at a later point in the slow cooking process?

Yes hard to find ha! I love my veggies super soft but you can definitely tweak! I don’t think you can mess up as long as the meat is cooked low and long

The serving I have listed is a big portion and many eat less, more like 4 oz of meat instead of the 7 oz. So should feed 5-7
How long is the slow cooker cook time?
