Quick, Tasty & Easy Roast

Whew! It has surely been another busy couple of weeks! We have been living and breathing volleyball every day but the weekend. I can't believe it, but the season is almost over! There are only few more games.

During this busy time I haven't been able to experiment too much with cooking. That also means we haven't been eating the healthiest either. There is surely a reason why Americans all buy processed and frozen foods now a days. It is quick, easy and unfortunately unhealthy!

There is one recipe though that I cannot recommend enough. This was by far one of the best recipes I have made in a long time. Not to mention the fact that it was easy, quick and able to make in the crock pot!! Oh, and another amazing thing about this dish, is it can be used for more than one dinner!!

We had used the gravy as a dip and had honey mustard to dip in as well

*We are a family of three. We were able to use it for 3 separate meals. However the rule is a 3-4lb roast will feed 4-6 people in one sitting. Please note that this also depends on how you are choosing to serve it. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately this picture is not mine - I cannot find for the life of me the pictures I took! However, this looks exactly like it should once it is shredded!
