Slow Cooker Pot Roast is the Ultimate Comfort Food

"Perfect for busy days, this slow cooker pot roast is a simple meal that's full of so much flavor! Tender meat, carrots, potatoes, and onions cook together for a dish everyone loves. Even though I work from home, I use our slow cooker for dinner a lot, letting soups and stews simmer away while taking care of all the other tasks on my list."

"Make sure your slow cooker will fit all of the ingredients and especially your roast! Wider slow cookers should work just fine, but if you have a round slow cooker, you might need to cut the roast in half to fit better. Season the chuck roast all over with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven set over medium heat. If your slow cooker has a Sauté button, you can do it right in the cooker pot."

Slow cooker pot roast provides a simple, flavorful meal ideal for busy days. Beef chuck roast cooks low and slow until tender, absorbing savory broth. Carrots, potatoes (preferably Yukon Gold), and onions cook alongside the meat, yielding tender vegetables and a comforting aroma. Searing the roast first in oil or a Dutch oven builds a brown crust and significantly enhances flavor. Ensure the roast fits the slow cooker; cut in half for round cookers if necessary. Rump roast or bottom round can substitute for chuck when a leaner cut is desired.
