Tips:

  • For a tender and flavorful pot roast, choose a chuck roast or rump roast.
  • Sear the roast in a skillet over medium-high heat before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to brown the roast and lock in the flavor.
  • Add plenty of vegetables to the slow cooker along with the roast. This will help to create a flavorful broth and make the roast more moist.
  • Use a low-sodium beef broth or water as the liquid in the slow cooker. This will help to prevent the roast from becoming too salty.
  • Cook the roast on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours. The roast is done when it is fall-apart tender.
  • Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
