      \n
      \"Seasoned
      Season the roast and toss it in the crockpot with the veggies.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
      \"Mushrooms
      Let it cook, then stir in the mushrooms and cornstarch.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n
        \n
      • Season:<\/strong>\u00a0Season all sides of the roast and place it in a 6 or 7 quart crockpot. Surround it with all your veggies (except the mushrooms).<\/li>\n
      • Gravy:<\/strong> Whisk together the beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and all the seasonings. Pour it over the roast.<\/li>\n
      • Cook:<\/strong> Place the lid on the crockpot and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 6 to 7 hours, until beef is fork tender. We highly recommend going with the longer cook time on low heat, it will create the most tender results!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Chef\u2019s Tips and Variations<\/span><\/h2>\n
            \n
          • Roast: <\/strong>Look for a roast that is between 2 to 3 pounds and has marbling running through it. The fat is what creates a juicy and tender pot roast.<\/li>\n
          • Sear The Roast:<\/strong> If you want to increase the beef flavor, you can sear the roast before adding it to the crockpot. We have tested it both ways and we honestly can\u2019t tell the difference!<\/li>\n
          • Veggies: <\/strong>Cut the vegetables in similar sizes so they cook evenly. We tend to like larger, chunky cuts of vegetables in a pot roast as they retain their texture better. Aim for just slightly bigger than bite sized.<\/li>\n
          • Potatoes: <\/strong>Use russet, yukon gold potatoes, or red potatoes, and if you like them peeled, peel them. We usually don\u2019t peel our potatoes \u2013 just rinse and chop! If you prefer to serve your pot roast with mashed potatoes instead, skip adding the potatoes to the crockpot.<\/li>\n
          • Cook on Low: <\/strong>The longer you slow cook this roast the better and more tender it becomes. We recommend cooking on low unless you have a big time crunch.<\/li>\n
          • Make Ahead:<\/strong> Fully cook the roast, but do not add the cornstarch or mushrooms. Instead, let the roast cool in the crockpot. Transfer the whole crockpot to the fridge for up to 48 hours. 1 hour before you want to serve, reheat over high for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally until warmed through. Then finish the dish with the cornstarch slurry and mushrooms as directed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
