This easy slow cooker pot roast needs only five common ingredients plus water—you can even substitute vegetables you have on hand or omit them altogether. Start with a good lean beef chuck roast for this recipe or look for a cut of beef with "pot roast" on the label. Chuck roast, bottom round, and rump roast make the best choices for long, slow braising.

Thanks to the low and slow cooking method and the soup, your roast will emerge tender and moist. There's no need to brown the roast first in this recipe since there's plenty of flavor thanks to the soup and onion soup mix.

Inexpensive cream of mushroom soup and dry onion soup mix add deep flavor to the roast with minimal effort. Just put everything in the crock pot, set it, and forget it—until the aroma alerts you that it's time for dinner.

"This is truly a one-pot meal. There is no need to sear the beef or sauté vegetables before adding to the crock pot, which means less clean up and a short prep time." —Carrie Parente

Tips

  • Grocers often label cuts of meat for pot roasts, but look for lean chuck roast, blade roast, 7-bone, rump roast, bottom round, or shoulder roast.
  • Condensation in the crock pot waters down the juices by the end of the cooking time. If you want to make gravy, pour the liquid into a medium saucepan and bring it to a boil; simmer briskly for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the volume reduces by about half to concentrate the flavors. Thicken the gravy by combining 2 teaspoons of cornstarch or about 1 tablespoon of flour with a few tablespoons of cold water and mixing until smooth. Stir the paste into the simmering juices until thoroughly incorporated and thickened. Serve the gravy with the sliced pot roast.
  • Substitute other vegetables for the potatoes and carrots if you wish. Choose options with similar textures such as sweet potatoes, turnips, or butternut squash chunks instead of potatoes; and parsnips, fennel, or celery root (celeriac) in place of carrots. Whatever you choose to use, keep the size of the pieces consistent. You can also add red, yellow, or white onion cut into large wedges.

Why is my pot roast tough?

If cooked in a slow cooker, pot roasts are usually pretty forgiving. Thanks to all of the moisture added in this recipe, the pot roast is more likely to be tough from under-cooking than over-cooking. Before removing from the crock pot, check that your roast is fork-tender.
