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.
