How to Make Pot Roast in the Slow Cooker

Pot roast is a classic comfort dish that many people like to savor on a cool night. Plus, since it is easy to jazz up the meal with vegetables and potatoes, you can enjoy a protein, vegetables, and starch all in one convenient and delicious dish. One of the best ways to make pot roast is in a slow cooker, as beef that is cooked slow and steady is often juicy, flavorful, and practically melts in your mouth. Here is a simple recipe for slow cooker pot roast and sides all cooked at once:

  • Ingredients
    • 4 pounds chuck roast
    • Salt and pepper (to taste)
    • 1 packet powdered onion soup mix
    • 1 cup water
    • 3 carrots, chopped
    • 1 yellow onion, chopped
    • 3 potatoes (Idaho, russet, or similar variety) peeled and cubed
    • 1 stalk of celery, chopped
  • Directions
    • Season the roast with the salt and pepper
    • Brown roast on all sides in a large skillet over high heat, approximately four minutes per side
    • Place the roast in the slow cooker, then add all of the other ingredients
    • Cover and cook on low setting for 8 to 10 hours
    • Take the roast out, shred it, and return to the slow cooker
    • Spoon into bowls and serve (makes about eight servings)

By following these steps, you can easily make pot roast in a slow cooker in the spacious kitchen of your apartment in Lady Lake, FL. If you are not yet a resident of The Quarters Apartment Homes but are interested in becoming one, contact our leasing office today.
