Make Paula Deen Pot Roast Recipe

There's just no family dinner food quite like a good pot roast, and Paula Deen's recipe really hits the mark.
It's easy to throw together in your slow cooker, letting you set it up and forget about it for hours.
All the layers of flavors come together as it cooks, with onions, bay leaves, and creamy mushroom soup complementing the hearty beef.
Don't forget to add a splash of Chardonnay; it enhances the rich flavors so wonderfully.
