I have a few tricks up my sleeve that are going to make you the very best pot roast; we’ve got a sneaky little spice blend and a special way to coat your chuck roast. And even better, you’re going to have a protein, carbohydrate, and veggies all cooked together in the most delicious savory sauce to make a true one pot dinner. Let’s make it!
I have been using this Large 8 Quart Crockpot for years and I love it! I love this crockpot because it serves 10+ people and the stoneware and lid are dishwasher safe.

๐ค Common Questions
If you prefer your potatoes more firm and not as soft, instead of adding them in at the beginning, add them in halfway through cooking.

It’s one of the simplest and best pot roast recipes I’ve tried. I upped the “wash-your-sister sauce” and garlic and reduced the onion to suit my family’s taste. Oh so good on a cool Fall evening. Thanks Melissa Jo.
