Slow-cooked pot roast is delicious and easy to make. Even the typical busy body can slow cook a pot roast by simply adding ingredients after quick preparation. If you’re on a tight schedule or simply seeking an affordable family option, then this pot roast recipe is perfect for you.

Here’s “Marie’s Easy Slow Cooker Pot Roast” formula and methodology – perfect for culinary novices and experts, alike.

Prep your kitchen and grab your culinary game face along with a large skillet. First, warm the skillet on high heat and then add two or three tablespoons of olive oil. The culinary journey has begun.

Pot roast includes a cut of meat called “the chuck.” Next, add a four-pound chuck roast to the skillet. According to Allrecipes, be sure to use “one that is well-marbled since it will be the most tender.”

Season the meat on both sides with salt and pepper, cooking until it’s brown all-over. Searing the chuck is optional, but preferred as a means of deepening the flavor. Next, remove the chuck from the skillet and add it to the slow cooker. This is where things start getting really interesting. The journey continues…

Obviously, the chuck meat isn’t the only ingredient. Marie recommends adding the following to the slow cooker along with the chuck roast: a packet of dry onion soup mix, a cub of water, three chopped carrots, a chopped onion, three cubed potatoes, and a stalk of celery.

Jeri Davini tells Allrecipes about her own flavorful seasoning method, stating, “I made a rub of lemon pepper, garlic salt, pepper and paprika. I rubbed the seasonings on all sides of the roast. I also stuck 5 cloves of garlic in slits in the roast.”

After adding all of the ingredients, add the top to the slow cooker and cook it on low for eight to ten hours. Make sure to leave enough room in your stomach as you advance through the day. It’s well worth the wait!

And there you have it, some delicious, professional-grade pot roast. Hopefully your family has worked up quite the appetite by this point. Beware the tempting smells as the slow cooker works throughout the day.

The pot roast should have a rich, tender flavor, practically falling right off your fork. The veggies provide a perfect, appetizing medley accompaniment.

So dig in! There’s plenty to go around. Treat your family to the finished roast, but be wary – they’ll be salivating for more!
