I would make the recipe through the end without adding potatoes, then freeze and just serve with baked potatoes. :) Congrats on the pregnancy!

Hi Jaclyn,

I am a frequent visitor of your site and always appreciate your delicious recipes! I am pregnant and looking for meals to pre-make and freeze that can be easily cooked once baby joins us (crockpot dump meals, etc). Do you have any thoughts on how I could do that with this recipe? Potentially complete steps 1-4 and freeze until ready to make, but wasn’t sure if that would affect cooking time, or if I should thaw the frozen parts before cooking. I know that isn’t how the recipe is intended but anything I can do to prep is helpful, thanks for your input!

It is possible that the texture of roast could get a bit tough or mushy if overcooked. I’d just quickly check at the time listed (pierce with a fork) to see if it needs a bit longer.

Sorry to hear this. If it tastes boiled it may be that your slow cooker cooks a bit high. As far as the potatoes go you can add them in earlier or cut into smaller portions.

Simple and delicious! Will definitely make again!

So delicious, thank you for the recipe. Followed it as written. Have bookmarked it and will make it again (and again!).

Great flavor. Meat melted in our mouths. Will use again

This was a great recipe! Easy to follow, introduced me to some new ideas. Thx!
