Notes

  • If you like a sweeter glaze, add an extra tablespoon of brown sugar or a drizzle of honey.
  • Add baby potatoes and carrots to the slow cooker for a complete one-pot meal.
  • Leftovers reheat best in a skillet with a splash of the sauce.
  • Double the broth if you want extra gravy for serving over mashed potatoes.
  • This recipe freezes beautifully — just slice, cover with sauce, and store in freezer bags.
