I’ve made this Amish classic three Sundays in a row—it’s become the family’s favorite tradition!

This slow cooker Amish Sunday Beef Roast is a comforting and hearty dish that brings the warmth of a family gathering to your table. Rooted in the traditions of Amish cooking, this recipe is all about simplicity and letting the flavors of the beef shine through. It’s perfect for those lazy Sundays when you want to enjoy time with your loved ones while the aroma of a delicious meal fills your home. With just a few ingredients and a slow cooker, you can create a tender, flavorful roast that will have everyone asking for seconds.

This roast pairs beautifully with classic sides like creamy mashed potatoes, buttered green beans, or a fresh garden salad. For a true Midwestern touch, you might also consider serving it with some homemade dinner rolls or a slice of cornbread. Don’t forget to save some of the delicious juices from the roast to drizzle over your sides for an extra burst of flavor.
