Need a good old fashioned comfort meal without spending hours slaving over the stove? Our hearty and delicious Slow Cooker Pot Roast is here to save the day.

Hearty meals are always a win in my book. I am all about the protein and veggies lately because they actually fill me up. I made this roast a few weeks ago for Sunday dinner and was reminded exactly how much I love it.

Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Any meal that takes less than five minutes to prep, can feed an army, tastes delicious, and the kids will eat is a major win in my book. I love my slow cooker, and this crock pot roast is definitely a family favorite.

If you are looking for a few other easy slow cooker favorites be sure to try our easy Tikka Masala or our favorite Copycat Cafe Rio Chicken! 

I also love that this can be a one pot meal, no need to add or prep anything else. But, if I am wanting to make dinner extra special or we have a bunch of company, I will make my Grandma’s Famous Rolls and throw a salad together. 

Perfect Pot Roast

Are you ready to see just how simple this slow cooker pot roast really is? Let’s do this. 

step by step photos for how to prepare a crock pot roast

Top Left – Place your roast in a greased slow cooker. If desired, sear roast for 3-5 minutes on each side in a frying pan first. 

Top Right – Wash your carrots, onions and potatoes and chop until similar in size. Place them around the outside of the slow cooker. 

Bottom Left – Whisk together your cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, and water until well combined. 

Bottom Right – Pour gravy mixture over meat and vegetables and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. 

Pro Tips: 

  • This recipe can also be made in a roasting pan in the oven, just set your oven for 350 degrees and cook for 5 hours.
  • The longer a roast cooks, the more tender and flavorful it will be. I like to put my roast in the slow cooker on low right before I go to bed the night before I want to eat it. Let it cook on low 12-14 hours, and then shred. Turn to warm and let juices sit in Crock Pot until ready to eat. 
  • Although I typically use a chuck roast in this recipe, a good pot roast can be made with any cut of meat. Whether you use a chuck roast, a rump roast, shoulder, brisket, anything will work in this recipe. 

If you make this recipe and enjoy it we would love for you to leave us a positive comment and review, they mean so much to us!
