Sometimes I’m desperate for it. You can't go wrong with a roast recipe, so I often turn to this Crock Pot Tri-Tip Roast or today's recipe, Crock Pot Chuck Roast.While this easy recipe can be made with carrots, potatoes, and onions... I never do. My family likes their pot roast and gravy served over mashed potatoes. If your family prefers vegetables please feel free to add them.In my opinion a boneless chuck roast is the best option for pot roast. It is affordable and has great marbling throughout, which makes the meat tender, flavorful, and fall-apart tender. I don't find that rump roast comes out as a tender.Season, sear, pour, and go! Honestly, it’s that simple.&nbsp;You may be tempted to make this in your Instant Pot or dutch oven, but I find that nothing beats the tender roast from a slow cooker (affiliate).1. Coat the beef roast in oil, then season roast generously.2. Sear the meat in a hot skillet to get a golden crust. Place in the Crock Pot.3. Simmer the beef broth in the hot skillet for 1 minute, scraping up the bits from the bottom. Pour over the roast.4. Cook on low heat for 7 hours or on high for 3.5-4 hours (low is preferred).About an hour before the roast is done it is time to thicken the gravy. Dissolve the cornstarch in water to make a cornstarch slurry, then add it directly to the liquid in the slow cooker. Do NOT pour it directly over the meat.Use a spoon to stir it all together until thoroughly combined. Replace the lid and continue to cook for another hour on low. The roast should be fork tender and come apart very easily when it's done.Before serving I like to separate the meat from the fatty sections. While cooking, the fat keeps the roast tender and flavorful, but at the end it is unappetizing. The simple solution is to place the roast on a cutting board and gently separate the sections of meat from the fat, discarding the fat. Then pour the rich gravy over the top of the roast and serve.This is the best Crock Pot roast recipe for a crowd, especially for chilly fall or winter weekend. It's important to not overcrowd the slow cooker. If you are doubling the recipe, try making it in two different crockpots to allow each to cook correctly without drying out.This is the perfect pot roast to serve with mashed potatoes (our go-to are these Red Skinned Mashed Potatoes - no peeling or scrubbing necessary). I also like to serve green beans and a favorite bread, such as these Buttery Dinner Rolls or these Easiest Cream Biscuits.For a full post with more roast beef sides, check out our 10 best pot roast sides!Can I prep pot roast ahead or freeze it? You can season the roast and wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then refrigerate the night before or freeze for the future. If frozen, thaw in the fridge for at least 24 hours before cooking. Do not freeze the roast after cooking since it will come out dry and tough. Can I cook Crock Pot chuck roast on high heat? You can cook your pot roast on high for 3.5-4 hours. However, I find that cooking it on low yields a more tender, moist pot roast. How do I know when pot roast is done? Test the pot roast with a fork. If it is undercooked, it will still be tough and chewy. It is done when it is tender, starting to fall apart, and easily breaks apart with the fork. Can I add vegetables to my Crock Pot chuck roast? If you prefer to make Crock Pot roast with vegetables you can add carrots, onions, and potatoes (red potatoes, Yukon Gold, or Russet work well). See the recipe card for instructions. Note that baby carrots cook quickly and may be best added part-way through the cook time. How do I store leftovers? Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave.If you try this recipe, please leave a comment and star rating to let us know how it is!&nbsp;We’d also love to connect with you on&nbsp;Facebook,&nbsp;Instagram, or&nbsp;Pinterest.
