Ultimate Slow Cooker Pot Roast

This was absolutely delicious and easier to make than how I usually do it in a Dutch oven. I added onion and celery just because I like it, but otherwise followed the recipe and it was excellent.

1. Season the chuck roast with the kosher salt, pepper and thyme (if you are sensitive to sodium, adjust to your taste or you can even leave the salt out altogether since you're adding broth). 2. Heat your pan (or if you can brown in your slow cooker, do it in that insert to medium high. 3. Add the vegetable oil and when it ripples and is hot add in the roast and brown, deeply, for 4-5 minutes on each side. 4. In your slow cooker add the carrots, potatoes and garlic. 5. Lay the beef on top, then add the beef broth and cover, cooking on low for 8 hours or on high for 5 hours. 6. In the last hour, mix your cornstarch and water and add it to the slow cooker to thicken the sauce or you can take the food out when done cooking, and add the leftover liquid to a small saucepan with the cornstarch/water slury mixture and cook on high for just 2-3 minutes until the liquid is thickened into a gravy. 7. Pour the gravy over the meat and garnish with parsley if desired.

Falling apart after 6 hours. So good. It was a big hit. I'll use this recipe again for sure.

I love it. This is absolutely delicious and savory. I plan on making this a lot. so much flavor. I added an onion and celery to it.

Added an onion, button mushrooms & broccoli. Put the broccoli in too early though and it turned to mush but did not detract from the flavours. 😊

Wait to add potatoes, carrots, and any other root vegetables until last hour or 2 of cooking on low

The only addition I made was to thinly slice 1 white onion and add it to the vegetables and it came out perfect. This is my new go to pot roast recipe. Simple, moist, tender, savory...DELICIOUS!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ — really liked it. We made this on a Monday when we had company coming. It was delicious and so easy to make—the only real prep work was cutting the veggies. There was plenty for the five of us and another serving for leftovers. This classic will definitely be a go-to for us in the colder months.

Used this as a base recipe. Added 2 gravy packets to liquid about 1.5 hour before finishing instead of adding cornstarch. Also added in peppercinis.

This. was the best and easiest pot roast I ever made. Only change i made was to add a packet of Lipton onion soup mixe as spice and eliminated spices called for except salt and pepper.

Amazing! Tasted so good. My husband loved it too and he’s a picky eater.

Good solid recipe

Easy crock pot recipe. I added a whole yellow onion, and it turned out delicious.
