Best Slow-Cooker Pot Roast turns out so tender and juicy with vegetables all cooked in the slow-cooker – no fuss recipe and ideal for a Sunday roast !
Post and images updated July 2018
This best Slow-Cooker Pot Roast gives tender, juicy fall apart beef with enough vegetables, leaving only room to add rice, mashed potatoes or a dinner roll.
This is one of the simplest, and our favorite, combination of a delicious beef roast and vegetables. You can always change up the vegetables to whatever you have on hand.
I have to admit that I am not using my slow-cooker as regularly as I really should ~ the best food is made in a slow-cooker after all !
Besides the rub and searing of the Beef Roast, this is a dump-and-go recipe which I always like. No fuss every 10 – 15 minutes, by adding ingredients, or stirring is needed.
Just leave it to do it’s thing in the slow-cooker while you go on ahead and do whatever you need to do without worrying about how dinner is coming along.

Is a 3lbs (1.5kg) roast enough for 5 people?

I love a good pot roast and can't wait for the weather to change so we can enjoy food like this. Although, I guess since this is done in a crock pot, I don't have to wait for cooler temps, do I?!
My favorite part of a pot roast, though, is the carrots that soak up all the delicious juices.
Thank you for stopping by and linking, Linda.

Love that this meat falls apart...it's the best way!
