  • Brown the beef before cooking. This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your pot roast. This will add flavor and nutrition.
  • Season the pot roast well. Italian seasoning, garlic, and onion powder are all good options.
  • Cook the pot roast on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours. This will allow the beef to become tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the pot roast with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
