Ken and I were trying to remember where we ate this roast for the first time. All we know for sure is we were so surprised by the simplicity of the recipe itself.

We could not believe it when we were told the few ingredients that were mixed up and poured over the roast in to the slow cooker. We still can’t believe it and we are still making this Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Beef Roast all these years later.
