Slow-Cooker Sauerbraten
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 6 hours
YIELD: 8 servings
My family is of German Lutheran descent, and although we enjoy this traditional beef roast, I never liked the amount of time and fuss it takes to make it. This recipe is so good and oh-so-easy. It's great served with dumplings, spaetzle, veggies or a salad. —Norma English, Baden, Pennsylvania
