Moist and delicious slow cooker pot roast and vegetables.

Not only is it the perfect comfort meal, it is also extremely easy to make. The meat literally falls apart and the vegetables are sweet and tender.

There is just something about coming home to the smell of a pot roast that has been slow cooking all day. The aroma alone makes your mouth water in anticipation of a hot and hearty meal.

This recipe is extremely versatile.  You can add whatever vegetables that you like to the slow cooker. We have added sweet potatoes, turnips, and even squash when they are in season.

There is no need to brown the meat ahead of time. In fact, we typically use frozen chuck roast so browning isn’t an option. Who wants to clean another pan anyway?

Just add the frozen chunk of meat to the slow cooker in the morning and it will be ready by dinner time! Just increase the cooking time to 10 hours. Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker. We use this programmable Crock Pot slow cooker and it turns out perfect every time!

Once the slow cooker pot roast is cooked through, use the juices from the meat to make the gravy. We absolutely love our fat separator to make our gravy. This allows us to strain the fat away from the delicious clear juices.

This makes it easy as we do use some of the fat to make the gravy. You could also substitute butter for the fat if you prefer.
