Balsamic Beef Roast

Name: Crock Pot Balsamic Roast
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 480 min
Total time: 490 min
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 pounds top round roast; 1 large sweet onion (sliced); 8 ounces tomato sauce; 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar; 1/2 cup water; 2 tablespoons white wine; 2 tablespoons coconut oil; Salt; Smoked Paprika; Garlic Powder; Onion Powder; Black Pepper

Just another super simple and super delicious crock pot meal that pairs well with any veggies you want. Personally, we would serve it over a bed of mashed cauliflower. If balsamic is not your favorite flavor, don’t be worried, it is not overpowering in this dish and you could always just tone it down to your liking. This is another way to use a cheaper cut of meat and get it nice and tender. We hope you enjoy :)
