This simple pot roast makes its own gravy in the slow cooker. As a single parent to girls, I am always trying to get the food groups into my abbreviated meals. I threw in potatoes, carrots, yellow squash, and zucchini to add to the original base recipe. They love stew, so this leads them in that direction, but is still a roast. It was a hit. I hope you enjoy it!

  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Adding a mix of vegetables like carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes creates a hearty and nutritious meal.
  • Enhance the Flavor: Experiment with different herbs and spices such as garlic, thyme, rosemary, and paprika to create a unique flavor profile.
  • Use a Good Quality Broth: The broth is key to a flavorful pot roast, so use a high-quality beef broth or make your own.
