Tasty Tender Slow Cooker Pot Roast
So tender that it literally melts in your mouth. This Tasty Tender Slow Cooker Pot Roast could not be any easier to prepare, and is sure to be a family favorite!
Ingredients
- 1 chuck roast (2-3 pounds)
- 6 Tablespoons brown gravy mix (I used McCormick same as 2 envelopes of dry gravy)
- 2 cups cold water
- 5-6 carrots, peeled and cut into large slices (or small bag of baby carrots)
- 5-6 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
- 1 large onion, diced large
- 1 Tablespoon granulated garlic (not garlic salt) or 3 fresh cloves minced
- 1 Teaspoon onion powder (not onion salt)
- Salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
- Spray your crock pot with cooking spray
- Season roast with salt pepper, garlic and onion powder on both sides
- Place your roast in your crock pot
- Put cut potatoes, carrots and onion around roast, and season them with salt and pepper
- Mix together brown gravy thoroughly with 1 cup cold water
- Pour over your roast and veggies
- Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours
- Spoon juices over meat before serving, or if you can while it's simmering a couple times
Notes
I don't recommend cooking this on high. I don't think you'll get the same tender roast, let it go low and slow. My slow cooker can be set to go to warm after so many hours, so if yours has to go on low a little longer, I think it will still be fine.
