This Slow Cooker Pot Roast is a tender, flavorful meal made with chuck roast, seasoned with a blend of spices, and slow-cooked to perfection with potatoes and carrots. Ideal for a comforting, gluten-free dinner that requires minimal hands-on time.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 lbs Chuck Roast
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • ½ tsp Paprika
  • ½ tsp Pepper
  • 2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 ½ C Beef Broth
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire
  • 2 lbs Baby Red Potatoes
  • 3–4 Carrots

Instructions

  1. Trim the fat on the roast. I recommend leaving a few thin pieces around the edge, but this is completely up to you!
  2. Mix the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and pepper together and then coat all sides of the meat with about ¾ of the spice mixture.
  3. If your slow cooker has searing functionality (like the Original Green Pan), heat the oil and sear both sides of the meat on high for about 2 minutes, until you have a nice brown crust!
  4. IF YOU CAN’T SEAR IN YOUR SLOW COOKER, add the oil to a pan and then sear the meat on both sides. Transfer the meat back to your slow cooker, and if needed, deglaze the pan with some broth to get all the seasoning off and pour over the meat.
  5. Add the brown sugar, Worcestershire and beef broth.
  6. Then slice your potatoes to the proper size, peel and cut your carrots.
  7. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. (Flip halfway if you want).
  8. Remove the meat and let it rest for at least 5 minutes
  9. Time to eat, enjoy!

Notes

  • Leaving a few thin pieces of fat on the roast adds flavor but is optional.
  • Searing the meat before slow cooking builds a nice crust and enhances flavor.
  • If your slow cooker does not have searing function, use a pan for searing then deglaze the pan to retain flavor.
  • Flipping the roast halfway through cooking is optional.
  • Letting the meat rest for at least 5 minutes improves juiciness.
