The Best of the Best Beef Pot Roast Recipe

Beef Pot Roast

Yield: Serves 6
Author: Hamilton Beach Test Kitchen

Ingredients

  • 3 to 4-pound chuck pot roast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 to 4 medium potatoes, quartered
  • 3 to 4 carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 medium onions, quartered
  • 1/2 cup beef broth

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper.
  2. Place half of vegetables in bottom of slow cooker crock, top with roast, then add remaining vegetables and liquid.
  3. Cover and cook 5 hours on HIGH or 8 hours on LOW.

Notes

Make this delicious and hearty beef pot roast in any 5-6 Quart Slow Cooker. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve your family this easy dinner that will be loved by everyone.

Half of a 1 lb. bag of baby carrots can be used instead of 3-4 medium carrots. A long cooking time in moist heat will tenderize a tougher cut of meat. Therefore, using a lower-priced cut, such as chuck, is economical as well as delicious.
