Classic Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Start by placing the carrots, potatoes, and onion right into the bottom of your slow cooker, creating a lovely bed for the juicy roast. Next, take your beef chuck roast and season it generously with salt, pepper, and thyme. Over medium-high heat, warm up a skillet and sear the roast on all sides until beautifully browned.

Once seared, transfer the roast to the slow cooker, resting it atop the vegetables. Now, pour the rich beef broth, savory Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic over the roast. Don’t forget to toss in a bay leaf to add more depth to the flavors.

Cover the slow cooker and let it work its magic. Cook on low for about 8 to 10 hours or, if you’re a bit pinched for time, on high for 4 to 5 hours until the meat is tender and flavorsome.

When it’s all done, carefully remove the roast and the vegetables. Slice or shred the meat as you prefer, serve it up, and enjoy the warm, comforting goodness of a classic pot roast.
