Slow Cooker Teriyaki Pot Roast

Slow Cooker meals are one of my favorite meals to put together.  Nothing is better than a home cooked meal that cooks all day in the slow cooker. Not only does it make the pork roast nice and tender but it makes your house smell amazing! Having a hot cooked meal after a long day is also nice. 🙂

This slow cooker teriyaki pot roast recipe is delicious and perfectly paired with a side salad and white rice.  It’s cooked in a delicious mixture of apple juice, soy sauce, and brown sugar.  It’s then cooked down to make a simple and flavorful gravy to pour on top.
