How to Make Easy Slow Cooker Pot Roast | Allrecipes

Watch how to make a classic pot roast in the slow cooker. Chuck roast simmers low and slow until it's extra moist and juicy, alongside carrots, onions, and potatoes. So easy, it takes just a few minutes to prepare in the morning, then you'll come home to a delicious one-dish meal with the house smelling incredible.

I cut my potatoes and carrots the same size as in the video. I started my roast at 7 a.m. Because I read these comments, I was worried that they may be overcooked if they remained in the slow cooker for a full 10 hours on low, so I checked on the veggies at 11:00 a.m. and they were on the verge of being overcooked. Since the pot roast still had 6 more hours (on low) to cook, I had to spoon the potatoes and carrots out otherwise they would have been mush. Next time, I won't add them until the final 3 hours. Glad I checked because I would have been very upset if this dish would have been ruined.

UPDATE: After I removed the potatoes and carrots I remembered that I had a sweet potato in the fridge so I pealed, chunked and added it to the slow cooker at around 11: 45. I checked on them at 1:10 p.m. and they were completely cooked, and I removed them. So I'm guessing no more than 1 1/2 hrs (2 hrs max) is necessary for potatoes (red and sweet) and carrots and they can be added at the END of the cook time and if you have to go a little longer with them, it certainly won't hurt the meat any.

I love how you don't rush through the recipe like so many others do. Can't wait to try this.

Usually my wife does all the cooking because Im all thumbs when it comes to complex, non-"just pop it in the microwave" meals, but with this recipe and easy to follow video. My roast came out damn near perfect. Some more seasoning next time and cook for 9 1/2 hours instead of 9 and I can imagine Ill be making this dish many times over in the years to come. Thank you very much.

I did this recipe with a modification. I did not add potatoes to the slow cooker and instead - made mashed potatoes just before I removed the chuck roast and vegetables. The roast and vegetables along with the sauce in slow cooker made a very tasty gravy for the mashed potatoes!

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out amazing thanks

I watched this last week and it inspired me to buy a slow cooker. I'm an absolute dummy in the kitchen and thought I might actually be able to copy your recipe step by step.
yesterday I did it. And the result was so so amazing.
Thank you so much for uploading this video and inspiring people like me .

LOVE making pot roast in my crockpot on really cold winter days. Best dinner if you want something warm and comforting.

Add beef broth and it taste even better! You can find this in soup section at stores. Also, you can add a little Rosemary and/or garlic to your taste.

I made this today for dinner. It was fabulous ! The only thing I suggest, is use as many veggies that can fit in your cooker. With the amount of beef used, there should be leftovers, so more veggies is a must !
It is so good - will be making this again before the winter is over.

You can certainly add garlic if you are a garlic fan! Sounds delicious.

Wow.. First pot roast ever and it was good. Thanks!

I'm a lazy cook. Once you get past five ingredients you begin to lose me. I mean, come, on. So I looked forward to making this recipe and I have to admit it came out great! Thanks!

I let myself go by your recipe as this was the 1st time I have ever ate or cooked a pot roast. I vary the recipe a bit. I like better beefy onion dry soup mix. I seared meat with adobo, garlic pepper and smeared it with real garlic. To give it a great flavor. I did use beef broth but also added Cabernet wine 1/2 cup. We don't like celery so I substituted it for mushrooms. I cooked it on high for 6 hours. OMG it was so delicious and the broth was very tasteful and rich. By the time it was done it was coming apart in pieces. Thank you. Mu hubby loved it I did too. 😘👏🏼👍🏼🍷😋

Comes out great everytime but I add the potatoes and carrots at the last two hours of cook time so they're not over cooked but all in all its a great recipe.

@allrecipes - I've made this recipe a few times and they always turn out wonderful. Making it again tonight. The kids are excited (I mean, who wouldn't be excited about pot roast right?) Thank you again.
