GRAMPA'S GERMAN-STYLE POT ROAST

Grampa's German-Style Pot Roast image

Grampa was of German heritage and loved the Old-World recipes given to him by his mother. I made a few changes so I could prepare this dish in the slow cooker and give it a slightly updated flavor. -Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada
