by Annmarie

This Ultimate Slow Cooker Pot Roast is the perfect comfort food—flavorful, tender chuck roast cooked low and slow with carrots and potatoes. It’s a hearty, one-pot meal that practically makes itself. Just prep in the morning and come home to a warm, satisfying dinner.

A classic American dish, pot roast is all about simple ingredients and bold, comforting flavors. This version uses a rich beef broth to infuse the meat and vegetables with incredible taste. It’s an easy way to enjoy a home-cooked meal without a lot of effort.

Even without searing the meat, the roast becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender by the end of the cook time. It’s a forgiving recipe that delivers great results every time. You’ll love how hands-off it is—and how amazing it smells while it simmers all day.

One of the best things about this recipe is that it’s a complete meal in one pot. Meat, veggies, and potatoes all cook together, soaking up that savory broth. You can even prep it the night before to save time and make busy mornings easier.
