1 tablespoon onion powder
1 bunch of parsley rough chopped (about ½ cup when chopped)
1 cup red wine

Place the beef on top of the root veggies.
Pour in the wine.

Notes

Store leftover pot roast in a food-safe storage container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Make sure it’s cooled off before loading it up!

Easy entertaining tips and tricks:

Peel and chop your veggies the night before! Place them in a food-safe storage container, and keep ‘em in the fridge overnight before tossing into the slow cooker first thing in the morning to make prep faster.
Make a bigger roast for a bigger crowd. If you’re using a larger piece of meat, it might take longer to cook, so be sure to put it into the slow cooker with more than enough time to spare.
Use the wine you’re going to drink in the recipe! Which means… choose a bottle that you like, use some of it in the recipe and drink some with the final dish.

Substitutions:

If you don’t have turnips or a parsnip, you can replace them with gold potatoes or sweet potatoes.
If you don’t drink wine, use beef stock in its place.
