Slow Cooker Pot Roast makes easy work of a one pot meal chock full of meat, veggies and potatoes with gravy.
Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Slow Cooker Pot Roast is my recipe of the day with Multicooker Monday. My little blogging group has been getting together once per month. We like to share recipes used on small kitchen devices, such as the Instant Pot, Slow Cooker and more.
It helps expand our repertoire and get more recipes of each type onto our blogs since these machines are among our favorites to use. Which kitchen appliance do you like to use most often? I just can’t decide. But I do want to use them all more, because the more I use them, the more I love them!
This month I am sharing another crockpot pot roast. Pot roast is a family favorite here, so I like to make all kinds. This recipe adds a few brown gravy packets to punch up the pan sauce. It will still need a little cornstarch, as slow cookers notoriously produce extra moisture.
But it’s a nice one pot meal. What do you like serving with your pot roast? I could get by with a big bowl full and a couple of biscuits or soft rolls.
And the leftovers always make fabulous beef sandwiches, which I love schmearing horseradish on.

I have tons of Pot Roast recipes too. We probably have it at least once a month and then delicious meals from the leftovers.
That’s one bowl of comfort food. My husband would love this.
Crock Pot is definitely my favorite way to make pot roast – I could eat onions that have been cooked in the crock pot alongside a roast by themselves – it turns them into something magic! We usually just eat pot roast with all the yummy traditional veggies that get cooked alongside it (potatoes, carrots, and onion).
I know, right? Whenever I start cooking onion nd garlic Bill always asks what smells so good!
This is one of our favorite family meals too. I have to make rice as well, because we love rice and gravy.
Wow, this recipe looks incredible! I’ve been looking for new ways to use a slow cooker. I can’t wait to try this out. Thank you for sharing!
