SPECIAL SAUERBRATEN

Special Sauerbraten image

After simmering in the slow cooker for hours, this rump roast is fork tender and has taken on some of the flavors of the sauce. My family looks forward to having it for dinner. I serve the beef with mashed potatoes and corn. -Laura Ehlers, Lafayette, Indiana
