This is an easy and healthy stew recipe that will be gracing our Crockpot all season long and hopefully yours too. We added it to our short list of simple recipes for those busy school nights that don't seem to allow us enough time for home cooked meals. It also makes for a comforting Sunday dinner after a hectic weekend. The savory flavor from the shoulder roast blends perfectly with the teriyaki taste of the potatoes and vegetables. We were thrilled with our first attempt at adding Brussels sprouts to the Crockpot. They turned out incredibly tasty!
