Three Envelope Pot Roast {Slow Cooker}

I am really into my slow cooker right now.  I absolutely love the convenience of it.  There aren't many things better than walking in the door from work and having dinner waiting on you!  This pot roast recipe was incredibly easy to make, and it tasted delicious!  Chicken Legs said he might like this better than our usual Italian pot roast.  We both loved the flavor from the onion soup mix and the zip from the salsa.

We like to make nachos with our leftover pot roast, but this time we made some pot roast sliders.  We used King's Hawaiian rolls (we love those rolls) and topped the meat with some swiss cheese.  We popped them in the oven for a few minutes to heat them through and melt the cheese.  Finally, we topped them with a creamy chipotle sauce.  YUM!  I love that we got two different meals with this recipe.  This is going in the dinner rotation.
