But in the beginning, I was doing it all wrong.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve all had the super easy, lazy slow cooker roast that skips the browning in a skillet, but once you try it browned you\u2019ll never look back! Browing helps to seal in the moisture and creates the most delicious texture for a juicy pot roast.<\/p>\n<h2>Perfect Slow Cooker Pot Roast<\/h2>\n<p>Another mistake was using onion powder and garlic powder in place of the real thing. Those have their place, but not here. The fresh onion and garlic add so much flavor to a pot roast.<\/p>\n<p>And have you ever tried crock pot roast with fresh herbs? It\u2019s so much better than dried, so it\u2019s worth the splurge. You can often even find them bundled together in a blended package to make this slow cooker pot roast recipe even easier.<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least\u2014the vegetables. I was always adding potatoes in cubes and using Russet potatoes. How does that turn out in the end? Potato soup! Instead, using a waxier potato (Yukons) and keeping the potatoes whole will help keep your potatoes moist and fork-tender, but not gluey. Cut them up at the end if you\u2019d like, or just serve them whole.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_2_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-2 adthrive-ad-cls\"><\/div>\n<p>Everyone will be too busy savoring each bite to care about the potato size details.

Use a garlic crusher if you hate mincing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beef broth <\/strong>\u2013 I know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seriouseats.com\/2016\/01\/22-supermarket-foods-to-leave-on-the-shelf.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">they say<\/a> not to use canned beef broth but chicken broth just doesn\u2019t seem right here.

I\u2019ve tried several different methods for thickening, and I prefer the cornstarch route since you don\u2019t have to add extra fat (butter for flour) and I prefer to thicken after cooking.<\/p>\n<p>If you try to thicken with flour or cornstarch from the beginning it doesn\u2019t thicken properly and can leave a floury or cornstarch flavor behind. Here\u2019s how you\u2019ll thicken the gravy:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Whisk cornstarch with 3 Tbsp beef broth then pour into saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, and let simmer for 30 \u2013 60 seconds.<\/li>\n<li>Plate roast and vegetables, pour gravy over the top, and sprinkle with parsley.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"withoverlay\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-44547 entered lazyloaded\" title=\"Best Ever Slow Cooker Pot Roast\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/slow-cooker-pot-roast-18.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) calc(100vw - 20px), 600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/slow-cooker-pot-roast-18.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/slow-cooker-pot-roast-18-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/slow-cooker-pot-roast-18-768x1153.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/slow-cooker-pot-roast-18-426x640.jpg 426w\" alt=\"Slow cooker pot roast in a white crockpot\" width=\"600\" height=\"901\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/slow-cooker-pot-roast-18.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/slow-cooker-pot-roast-18-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/slow-cooker-pot-roast-18-768x1153.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/slow-cooker-pot-roast-18-426x640.jpg 426w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) calc(100vw - 20px), 600px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.cookingclassy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/slow-cooker-pot-roast-18.jpg\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Can I use a Different Cut of Meat for a Perfect Slow Cooker Pot Roast?<\/h2>\n<p>For best results stick with the chuck roast for this recipe. Other roasts (rump roasts or round roasts are popular) won\u2019t be as tender. Pork roast is common, but cooking times are different so use a thermometer.<\/p>\n<h2>Can I Use Baby Carrots in My Slow Cooker Pot Roast?<\/h2>\n<p>I have also made this using a bag of baby carrots <em>but\u00a0<\/em>only go for a bag of thick baby carrots. You know what I mean. We\u2019ve all seen those pencil-thin worthless bags of baby carrots. Use the hearty thick ones (check the organic section, they aren\u2019t much more expensive and they taste better). This is the same reason I don\u2019t always use celery\u2014it can get a little weak and soggy compared to the root vegetables.<\/p>\n<h2>Can I Add Wine to my Slow Cooker Pot Roast?<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019d like you can also add 1\/2 cup red wine to this recipe along with the beef broth.<\/p>\n<h2>Can I Cook my Crockpot Pot Roast on High Heat?<\/h2>\n<p>I only recommend low-heat cooking for the most tender results. I\u2019ve tested with high heat cooking and it\u2019s just not the same.<\/p>\n<h2>Can I Cook this Pot Roast recipe in the Oven?<\/h2>\n<p>I have an oven method shared HERE.<\/p>\n<h2>When should I make a Slow Cooker Pot Roast?<\/h2>\n<p>Slow cooker meals are especially good for busy days where you can get everything started early and have a delicious dinner ready for you at the end of the day. I like pot roast on cold and cozy Sundays through the fall and winter.<\/p>\n<h2>How many people can I feed with a Slow Cooker Pot Roast?<\/h2>\n<p>This slow cooker pot roast calls for a 3 lb chuck roast and should serve 6 people.
