Steps:
- Place roast in crock pot and season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Cook bacon in skillet until crispy.
- Add mushrooms, wine, onion, broth, and thyme to the crock pot with the roast while you are waiting for the bacon to cook.
- When the bacon is done, add it to the crock pot and give it a good stir to mix all of the flavors together.
- Set your crock pot at low for 7-8hrs.
- I recommend at least 8 hours because your roast will become soo tender it will literally fall apart as you try to remove it from the dish.
- If your roast seems tough yet, just give it a little more time, it will only get more tender the longer it cooks.
- Remove the roast and transfer the remaining sauce to a sauce pan.
- Mix 1/2 cup of flour with 1 cup of cold water.
- Gradually add flour mixture to the remaining sauce while whisking over med high heat until sauce thickens.
- Serve gravy over mashed potatoes.

Steps:
- Layer potatoes, carrots, and onions at the bottom of the crock pot.
- Add garlic and sprinkle thyme and rosemary to cover the vegetables.
- Salt and pepper the roast, then sear all over to seal in moisture.
- Place roast over vegetables, and pour in wine and beef stock.
- Cook on high for 5 hours or until meat is tender, turning the meat half way through.
- Dissolve flour by shaking in a jar with just enough cold water to dissolve it completely.
- Remove the meat to a plate and pour dissolved flour into the crock pot along with mushrooms. Stir and let cook for 10 minutes or until gravy achieves a good consistency.
- Slice roast and replace to crock pot to keep warm for serving.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, rump roast, or brisket are all good choices for a crock pot roast. Look for a roast with good marbling, as this will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful.
- Sear the roast before cooking: Searing the roast in a hot pan before cooking it in the crock pot will help to develop a rich, flavorful crust. This is an optional step, but it is highly recommended.
- Use a good quality red wine: The red wine that you use in this recipe should be one that you would enjoy drinking. A full-bodied red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will work well.
- Add vegetables to the crock pot: Vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery can be added to the crock pot along with the roast. This will help to create a delicious and flavorful gravy.
- Cook the roast on low for 8-10 hours: This will give the roast plenty of time to become tender and fall-apart.
Conclusion:
Red wine crock pot roast is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
