Slow Cooker Pot Roast Recipe is an easy beef roast recipe that even the novice chef can handle. The easy-to-make gravy mixes right in the crock after the vegetables and beef are done.
Summer is almost here in full force. The day’s temperatures are creeping into the nineties, and the lawn needs a sprinkle here and there. My hubby calls me the air conditioning gypsy, so I am well aware of the heat that summer brings. I love to break out my crock pot during the summer months. It helps keep the heat down when you don’t have to turn on the stove. It is a great advantage when you feel that grilling is not an option.
What is Slow Cooker Pot Roast?
Slow Cooker Pot Roast and Vegetables are tender, flavorful, slow-cooked chuck roast, carrots, and onions smothered with creamy beef gravy seasoned to perfection. It is such great comfort food and close to heavenly when served over creamy homemade mashed potatoes. It takes just a few minutes to throw in the crock pot. You can come home to the most fabulous mouth-watering smells; the finishing step is quick and easy.
How do you cook it?
A Pot Roast Recipe is easy to cook and one of my family’s favorite meals. It is a dump-and-go recipe of beef, vegetables, herbs, and spices that are slow-cooked in the crock pot or in a Dutch oven. You can use the juices to make a simple gravy when it is finished cooking. You can add everything at once, or if you don’t want your vegetables that pretty soft, add them 1 1/2 -2 hours before the roast is complete.
What is a Dutch oven?
A Dutch oven is a large, heavy pot with a lid suitable for both the top of the stove and inside the oven. So you brown your roast right in the pan on the top of the stove, add all your goodies and put the lid on, and pop it in the oven. It is fantastic for anything slow-cooked; brisket, ribs, chuck roast, pork roast, and even soup and chili. The Dutch oven is inexpensive and works like a charm.
This Crock Pot Roast Recipe is the ultimate weeknight meal providing the family with a much-needed delicious meal after a long day at work or school. In a hurry, scrap the mashed potatoes and make it super simple by throwing in chunks of potatoes with the carrots and onions.
Got big eaters? You can easily increase the size of the chuck roast to 3 lbs and throw in another onion and a couple more carrots. You will not need to change any other part of the recipe.
Is the heat moving in yet? If not, it will be soon, and you can give this simple, fabulously tasty Chuck Roast Crock Pot Recipe a whirl!

The best roast I have eaten anywhere. At first, I thought Worcestershire sauce, No Way. But my husband said this is the best roast I’ve ever made. I think so, too, I’m going to continue to make this roast it will be my recipe for roast from now on. It was so tender it fell apart. falling apart to me makes a perfect roast again this is the best roast from anywhere or anyone. You sure definitely need a number one ribbon for this

Beth Pierce
Thanks so much! I am so glad that you like it. We love it too!
Mary Ellen
Really like this recipe. I don’t care for the amount of butter used in the gravy. Made it taste greasy. The meat had enough fat that was in the juice. Next time I’d use another thickening technique.
★★★★
Rachel
What temperature do I set the oven if I’m using the Dutch oven option? And for the same amount of time?
I don’t have a crock pot yet but do have an enameled cast iron pot.
Beth Pierce
Sorry about the delay. 300 degrees for 3-4 hours.
Tabytha
Does this recipe mean both high and low for the whole thing? Or one or the other as options? Either way I’m still going to make it!
Beth Pierce
Yes you cook on high first and then move to low.
erin
sooooo i accidentally threw everything in the slow cooker at once…. including the butter and flour (this is why you read before ugh). i have a couple hours until it’s done but i’m not sure if it’s even going to turn out the same. help/advice?!
Beth Pierce
How did it turn out? Very curious.
Danielle
Love this! I add half broth and half beer for a wonderful gravy that reminds me of the steak and ale pie I used to love when I lived in England.

I skipped adding the broth. A trick my grandmother taught me. There were enough rich juices to serve on the side or to make a delicious gravy.

Can a bone-in chuck roast be used?
Beth Pierce
Yes it can.
Cassi
I added in more beef stock is that ok it didn’t seem like there was enough with me adding in potato’s
Beth Pierce
Yes of course that should be fine.
Madeline Madsen
Can I use a rump roast instead of a chuck roast? If so how does the cooking time vary? Thank you!!
Beth Pierce
Sorry! I have not tried a rump roast on this recipe.
Kimberly Pellegrino
This is by far the BEST crock pot roast I’ve ever had. It was said by every family member tonight (and I have picky eaters), “BEST DINNER EVER!” Thank you, Beth!!! This will become a staple in our home.

Beth Pierce
Thanks so much Kimberly! So glad that everyone liked it!!
Lori
I have a bottom round roast – can I use that?
Beth Pierce
You can but you are not going to get the same result. The bottom round is a lot tougher. If you do try, plan on slow cooking on low for 10 hours so hold those vegetables for a while as they will break down too much if left in there that long.
Kimmmy
Hi! I’m making this for Christmas Eve. Wish me luck. Haha but I don’t like my veggies mushy when should I hard my potatoes and carrots if so.
Beth Pierce
I would add them about halfway through the cooking process. Merry Christmas!
Sky
My family and I love this recipe! My parents are coming over for dinner Saturday, so how would you recommend making additional servings? (6) Should I buy a bigger roast and cook it longer? Double the recipe?
Thanks!
Beth Pierce
Thanks so much. I think the largest chuck roast you will be able to find will be five lbs. You might have to go with two smaller chuck roasts. Yes I would double the ingredients.Your cooking time should only be increased by maybe one hour. Just cook until fork tender. You can always turn it to warm while you finish up the rest of the meal I think I would hold the vegetables back a couple hours so they do not get too soft. I hope you have a great meal.

I’m making this right now! It’s already smelling delicious!

Not sure if this has been asked yet or not, but I have pork shoulder on hand, could it be used in place of the beef? How would you suggest I adjust the cook time? TIA! 🙂
Beth Pierce
Sorry about the delay. I had to get my taxes filed this weekend. Yes you most certainly can do this with a pork loin. I think with pork I would switch to chicken broth. I think it complements it better.
Autumn Murray
Yum! I love making pot roast in a slow cooker as the meat always turns out so tender. I’ll try your recipe. Thank you.

My husband and I have not used the slow cooker in EONS! But seriously, maybe a year + at this point. I don’t like “mushy” food and he doesn’t like eating at home, so yeah, there’s that – hahaha! However, this roast actually looks pretty dang tasty so I would definitely want to try it, if you made it 😉

Ryan christen
Do you melt the butter before adding it? Or melt the butter in the crockpot?
Beth Pierce
Melt the butter in the microwave, stir the flour into the melted butter and then add then whisk that mixture into the juices that are left in the crock-pot after removing the veggies and pot roast.
Kandi
Made this for dinner tonight and it was awesome! The roast was very moist and falling apart and so flavorful. I made the gravy using a dab of heavy cream added …. yum!

Beth Pierce
Thanks so much Kandi! I am so glad that you liked it!
Vicky
I’m making this now! It still has another couple of hours to cook. I did not have parsley or worchestire. I substituted soy, garlic powder and white vinegar for the worchestire sauce. I added rosemary to the meat while browning it. I also added a tsp of dijon mustard I tried making this with the ingredients in my house basically. I hope it comes out okay! ??
Beth Pierce
Some of the best recipes come about from a little of this and little of that. 🙂
Joann
What if I don’t have a crockpot and want to use my oven? What temp do you think?
Beth Pierce
Yes you can in a covered casserole dish. Bake the roast at 300 degrees for 3-1/2 hours or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
Beth Pierce
You can remove your juices and finish the gravy on the stove-top in a saucepan. If you have a dutch oven you can do the whole thing in there.
Alice
I’m in the works of making this roast. My only question is do you stir everything once added or if any time in the process
Beth Pierce
No I do not stir everything when I add it to the crock pot. You can stir it when the recipe is complete.
Temperance Black
Can I keep the veggies in while mixing the gravy or should I do it separately as stated?? But so far it smells so I’m excited to try it!!!
Beth Pierce
I love the smell of that cooking in crock pot. I think you could try it. That might be something I would try because of time shortages. I think if you don’t mind things being not too perfect …it might break up some of the veggies stirring them around. I don’t mind if things aren’t perfect.
Brianna Harvey
What kind of mash potatoes are those?
Beth Pierce
Just good old mashed potatoes with a little milk, butter, salt and pepper.
Charlene Stoffel
This recipe sounds delicious! Unfortunately, I often don’t plan far enough ahead to use a crockpot. I would more likely use an instant pot and put it in the crock pot mode until my daughter gets home from work. Have you ever tried this with an instant pot? If so how long would you pressurize it? I could follow the timing in the manual, but sometimes people come up with different times.
Beth Pierce
Thanks so much!! I am sorry Charlene I do not have an instant pot. Perhaps one of the readers know this answer to this.
Amanda
Hello,
Not sure if you’ll see this since it’s been two years since the last comment!
If I were to make this recipe in a Dutch oven what temperature do you recommend using?
Beth Pierce
Sorry about the delay. My knee has been bothering me lately so I am a little behind! Cook at 325 degrees for about 4 hours or until fork tender. I love my Dutch Ovens! They make the best meals!
Reshanda Taylor
Hey i have a 7 quart crock pot and I would like to get a roast about the size of my crock pot do I need to add more seasoning or just keep everything the same.
Beth Pierce
I would add more seasoning and make sure that the beef broth is enough to cover it. Happy cooking!
Billie
Do you cook the taters with the meat or by its self to do mashed taters?
Beth Pierce
If making mashed potatoes please cook separately.
Cindy martinez
Thank you for the recipe.
De Simmons
This was a fantastic pot roast! I started with potatoes and carrots cooking with the roast and noticed they were getting done so I removed them. Added them back with the roast when I put the beef back in the gravy. I enjoyed being able to do other things while my dinner cooked. The taste is scrumptious!
Beth Pierce
Thanks so much. I am so glad that you liked it!!

This Chuck roast recipe turned out great. The husband wanted to know if there were leftovers for lunch the next day. Tasted just like my Mom’s way of preparing years ago. Thanks for the flavorful memory.
Beth Pierce
I am so glad that you liked it and that it brought back nice memories of your Mom.
Judy Schillick
In all my years of cooking pot roast, i have never used red potatoes. I love using my slow cooker, so do I peel or leave skins on?
My husband is diabetic and the red potatoes are better for him. Looking forward to more of your recipes.
Thank you,
Judy Schillick
Brackettville, Tx
Beth Pierce
Thanks so much. I leave the skins on. Much better that way!!
steve
I usually put in a second set of veggies for the least 90 minutes of cooking. Typically, this is carrots, mushrooms and redskin potatoes.
In the end, I discard the first set of veggies(usually onions) because they’ve turned to mush after all the cooking time.
Other than that, I cook this dish pretty much like you do, except usually just 6 – 7 hours on low. I don’t see any any real advantage to cooking on high at the start..
Beth Pierce
Thanks for the heads up Steve. I will give it a whirl!
victoria
Ah, good to know! K, will forego the balsamic vinegar experiment this go-round, but thank you so much for your insight and advice!
victoria
Hey! I am in the process of working up your pot roast recipe right now, and it sure does smell heavenly! I was just wondering about the addition of the balsamic vinegar to the mix… Does one do that as a flavor enhancement, or is it more of a meaty textural thang, or… I sure would love to glug some in there, but not at the cost of hearing, “Uhhhhhh… Ma? Why does this smell like Easter eggs?”. My family. Sigh…
Thank you so much for posting such a terrific recipe, and thank you, too, for your response! Hopeful response, anyway….
vtw
Beth Pierce
Sorry I have been out shopping for furniture with my son. I do love to cook with balsamic vinegar but I am not sure this recipe would be the one to add it to. If you decide to add some I would go very light like one to two teaspoons. If you try please let us know what you think.
Nancy
Excellent, easy and sooooo delicious! A Perfect winter meal!
Beth Pierce
Yes indeed. I love this meal!!

Kathy Condon
What temp should the roast be at when done?
That’s a long time cooking. Is that because the roast is a tougher cut?
Beth Pierce
I have never taken the temp when done. Chuck is not very tough at all. There is fat in it to keep it real tender. It is a slow cooker recipe. Cook on high for one and one half hours and low for an additional four to five hours. If you check it and it is fork tender than it is ready.
Greg
Why do you do the ending part with the flour and the butter? Does this create gravy? Sorry I’m a little new to the cooking thing…
Beth Pierce
No worries. I hope you learn to love cooking as much as I do. Yes the flour and the butter create an easy quick gravy.
Cliff
How much should the roast be out of the liquid? With 14.5 (I actually have 16oz) it just covers the carrots and only covers the meat @ 1/4 of the way up. I added some water and now it’s 1/3. Is that okay? Thanks
Beth Pierce
The roast can be out of the liquid. No problem at all. Put the top on and if you are super concerned you can flip halfway through but you don’t have to. The meat will still be very tender.
Cliff
Thanks for the fast response. I’m cooking it now.
Heidi
Do you return the chuck roast to the crockpot after making the gravy Or keep them separate?
Beth Pierce
You can do either one.
Brianna
How long to cook a 1lb roast? It’s just me and my husband so we don’t need too much. Thanks!
Beth Pierce
I think I would cook that on high for only 1 hour and then reduce to low and check the meat and veggies with a fork after 3 1/2 hours to make sure they are fork tender. If not continue cooking.
Carmen
I bought a 5.360 lb beef check roast. For how long should I cook it when using your recipe?
Beth Pierce
Probably about another hour but it is easy to check and see if it fork tender.
Vicky
Made this yesterday! Turned out great. I added potatoes and mushrooms as well as three tablespoons of balsamic vinegar! Will be making this again as it’s very satisfying and super tasty!
Beth Pierce
Thanks so much! I love balsamic vinegar. Happy New Year!

Beth Pierce
It serve four! Sorry about the delay. We went to the movies and got some other stuff done!
Melissa
Can I assemble everything the night before and put in the fridge? Do I need to brown the meat or no?
Beth Pierce
You do not have to brown the meat. Although safety precautions do not advise mixing raw meat and veggies in advance. Instead they advise cutting vegetables and storing in a Tupperware type container the night before and assembling meat and veggies in the morning just before turning on.
Melissa
Thank you!
Jeremy
There is 100% nothing wrong with mixing them together in advance. You are going to be cooking them in the same pot in the end.
James
Except that if you do mix the meat and vegetables together overnight let him sit in the fridge chances are I’ll give you a stomach ache from the blood soaking into the vegetables always best to keep them separate containers before cooking

This is delicious my go to recipe for 49 years.

I only have a have a high setting. How long should I cook it if I leave it on high the whole time?
Beth Pierce
3-4 hours but test for tenderness.
Jasmine
I will not be able to stop home mid day to switch the crockpot from high to low. Do you know how long I could leave it in the crockpot for on just low instead?
Beth Pierce
About 8 hours.
Cheryl
May I ask, what size crockpot did you use for the chuck roast recipe??? Thank You…
Beth Pierce
It was a 3 quart but it was a little small. I think I would go a little larger…maybe a 5 quart.
Cheryl
Thank You…
Amber
Just to paint a picture of the different moments of life the sharing of your recipe creates, my 91 year old grandfather lost one of his last few living friends recently. Tonight was the visitation for his friend of over 60 years. I made his favorite meal tonight, which happens to be roast beef. He was very pleased when the taste of his dinner reflected his hopes of flavor. I’m so thankful to have been able to bless that sweet soul of his with something comforting on this cold, windy, and wet day.
And while I’m at it, I may as well mention that the second anniversary of the passing of his wife of 54 years is only a few days away. Roast beef is his favorite dish she made for him.
And my husband even enjoyed AND complimented it. He doesn’t even like roast.
So, thanks again!

Beth Pierce
Thanks so much for sharing this. It was something that I needed to read tonight. We are undergoing a major remodel in our house and to say things are hectic is an understatement. However it is small beans when it comes to the things that really matter in life. So glad that your grandfather and husband enjoyed the meal. Thanks for reminding me of the important things in life.
Rachel
11 1/2 hours on high then an additional 4-5 hours on low? Is that right?
Beth Pierce
It is 1 and 1/2 hours on high and 4-5 hours on low.
Rachel
Thank you so much! That makes a lot more sense!
Melissa
If I’m
Making a 6lb pot roast how long do I cook it for?
Beth Pierce
Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 4 to 5 hours. I would not put my veggies in for several hours.
Sam
Lol omg it will be jerky, 1 and 1/2 hrs on high not 11hrs
Beth Pierce
It is 1 1/2 hours. Please check out the instructions again.

I’m making this for Christmas and I read it as 1 & 1/2 hours on high. Then lower. Thanks…your directions are precise and easy to read.
