Dinners That Practically Cook Themselves

Here's one of the best low-effort, all-in-one meals you can make. It's a basic pot roast: just place sliced onions in a Crock-Pot, lay the meat on top and season with salt and pepper; then scatter chunks of potatoes over and around everything and cook on low for six hours. Crack open the lid, toss in thick slices of carrots and continue cooking for two more hours. The finished dish is a humble yet homey combination of tender beef, melting carrots and hearty potatoes.
