Regardless of the time of year, sometimes I just crave a good hearty protein-rich meal. I mean even in the summer, I can't subsist on salad alone. The weather may be hot, but on occasion I'll still want a good roast, even though I don't want to heat up the oven because that will heat up my home. Thank goodness for the trusted slow cooker that can make a roast without making my home feel hot enough to roast me.
This delicious Slow Cooker beef guisado (or pot roast) is packed with protein and veggies. I love that it's made with sweet potatoes, pineapple, and coconut milk. It's a great meal during the winter, but don't forget about it in the summer. After all, you don't forget about ice cream in the winter, do you?
