Do you crave the Pot Roast your Mom or Grandma used to make? This Slow Cooker Pot Roast Recipe is so easy to make you that you won’t believe it has that old-fashioned taste.

Truth be told, I am an absolute sucker for a good slow cooker pot roast recipe. There is just something about coming home to that amazing smell that reminds me of my childhood.

A while back, I found a great slow cooker pot roast recipe in my e-cookbook version of Homemade Christmas. It was ah-mazing! Then a year or so later I found another great roast recipe for my crock pot- Savory Merlot Pot Roast from Slow-Cooker Recipes Cookbook. I actually cooked that baby up and split it up in portions in my freezer as a freezer meal.

This time around I was cooking for a crowd and needed something quick and easy to throw into my crock pot. So when I saw Becky Butler’s recipe for Old Fashioned Pot Roast in Gooseberry Patch’s Slow Cooking All Year Round I knew it would be just perfect.

This recipe called for 3 mixes I already had in my pantry along with the roast and 1/2 cup of water.

I decided to substitute that water for 1/2 cup of wine, because I loved the flavor of the Merlot Pot Roast I had enjoyed before.

I also tossed in some carrots, celery and baby potatoes that I had roughly chopped. I did this both for flavor and because I simply cannot have roast without them.

I really liked that I didn’t have to sear this roast before cooking it. I also loved that this was one of those dump all the ingredients in and go kind of recipes. I was entertaining guests that weekend afterall!

    Hi! I’ve never made pot roast in the crock pot and was wondering if it would dry out since there isn’t liquid covering the meat?

    Thanks!

      Joanna-
      Between the veggies and the meat, the only liquid you will need is the 1/2 cup of wine (or water). You will be surprised at the amount of liquid it will create on its own. You don’t want to submerge roasts in liquid in a slow cooker to begin with or it will boil the meat versus roasting it (and dilute the flavor while reducing tenderness). Hope that helps! Happy cRockin’!

      The best roasts i have ever had are done in the crock pot. Now i wouldn’t cook it any other way. The 8-10 hour method is best with the natural juices, no way does it dry out. I have left over beef/gravy etc, so i use it for beef tips over noddles the next day for dinner. Fabulous!!!
