Technically yes, you can cook slow cooker pot roast on high heat, but I would only do this in case of a timing emergency. Crockpot pot roast should be cooked low and slow for the most tender results, giving enough time for the collagen to break down into gelatin. If your pot roast seems tough, cook on! It probably needs an additional hours if it is close to the end of cooking time. Cook until it easily shreds with a fork.
See below on how to make the most tender pot roast. There is no technical way to know when a pot roast is done — but there is an easy way! You can tell when the pot roast is done because it will easily shred with a fork. Yes, you can cook roast in the oven but I would not use this recipe as written as it has more seasonings than you would need for oven pot roast in which more liquid is evaporated.

The next day simply reheat it, shred, and make the gravy. Once your slow cooker pot roast has cooled to room temperature, you can remove the pot from the slow cooker and put the whole insert lid on in the refrigerator.
This works best if you are planning on cooking in advance and reheating in its entirety. If storing leftovers, transfer pot roast to an airtight container with some of the crockpot juices to keep the meat moist and transfer to the refrigerator. Refrigerate the gravy in a separate airtight container. When stored correctly in an airtight container, cooked chuck roast will keep fresh for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. You can even eat it straight from the fridge!
Easy crock pot roast reheats beautifully! Just be aware that the gravy will thicken significantly in the refrigerator, but will thin as it is reheated. You can freeze cooked pot roast without the carrots and potatoes, as these vegetables will become mushy when frozen.
The gravy also freezes well. You can either freeze it with the shredded beef instead of the cooking liquid or freeze it separately in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to three months.

Thank you for all the thought and work you put into all your recipes! Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment Mary! I hope you absolutely love this pot roast! Or add onions? Or celery? I thought about making it for Hanukkah dinner with latkes, so no need for the potatoes. Thank you! Great question! You could add a lb of parsnips to sub for the potatoes. Latkes are a great idea, with pot roast gravy?
Or applesauce? You could leave out the dried onions and add Medium onions, that is the amount I use. It adds a nice flavor. Have a Joyous Hanukkah!
Most delicious and complex flavors I have every experienced with a pot roast dish. Well done! As older empty nesters, I decided to try your pot roast for Christmas dinner for my husband and I.
I omitted the onion flake and added an onion and a package of fresh mushrooms because I had them on hand. The roast and veggies were such wonderful down home comfort food. Thank you so much for the recipe and please know that you were an honored guest at our Christmas table. Aw, thank you so much Rene for your thoughtful comment! Merry Christmas! This was delicious! My husband, my son, and I all loved it.
To prevent the roast from drying out, you will add liquid such as beef stock, broth, or water to the bottom of the dish holding the roast. To make it a complete meal, many people add chopped-up potatoes or vegetables to the dish, cooking it along with the roast.
You may be accustomed to selecting tender, juicy steaks from the meat counter. With pot roast, the exact opposite rules apply. Tougher cuts of meat have lots of tough connective tissue.
When you cook the roast at a low temperature for a long period of time, the tissues soften. Cooking a good pot roast requires a great deal of patience. A boneless chuck roast is our first pick for pot roast. It has outstanding marbling, making the roast tender and juicy when braised. Cut from the shoulder just above the short rib, it is a tougher, albeit more affordable cut than those from the front part of the animal, like the sirloin or short loin.
Other cuts that are either the same under a different name or come from the same area are the chuck eye, blade roast, shoulder roast, shoulder steak, arm steak, arm roast, cross-rib roast, or seven-bone roast. While brisket is most known for barbecue recipes and typically cooked in a smoker, it makes an outstanding pot roast. Cut from the chest, or the lower, front portion of the animal, brisket has abundant fat that works well in a roast.
If you are feeding a family, keep in mind that compared to the chuck, brisket comes with a premium price tag. The bottom round roast is typically used for roast beef but can make an excellent pot roast. This roast comes from the round primal or the rear part of the cow. Great recipe. I highly recommend not skipping the browning step. It really makes a difference in the taste. After browning, take the meat out of the pan and deglaze with some of the broth to recover the flavor left behind in the pan.
As a bonus, the pan will be easier to clean. I added a half cup of finely chopped onions and bell pepper to the searing process. Then, did as you did and added a cup of beef broth to the pan and got all that deliciousness in the pot! Love recipes that are simple and delicious!
This pot roast recipe was a winner! I just love the ease of cooking this crock pot recipe then sitting down and enjoying the fruits of my labor or lack of it. A little slicing, a little dicing, a little spicing and it was done.
So nice and yummy too! Great comfort food even on a hot Arizona day! Great combination!!! My husband loved it!!! I could not see what slow cooker you recommended. I have an insta pot that I find unsuitable as a slow cooker so I will make the purchase.
I made this yesterday. It turned out magnificent. The meat fell apart. No need for knives. Fantastic gravy came form it as well. This recipe sounds delicious, but neither the recipe, nor the video, state how much broth to add. Also there is a mention of soup, yet soup is not listed, or mentioned in the video, is that a substitute for the broth??? This is my third time making this recipe. My wife and kids love the flavors and that the meat falls apart with a fork.
I only tried the recipe two months ago they keep asking for more. This is saying a lot because my wife hates seasoned food. She has no idea how I flavor her food and she always enjoys it. Sorry to hear that your wife has zero taste buds, bro. Flavor is the spice of life. The roast and veggies were very flavorful and my whole family loved this recipe.
I added a little extra salt and pepper, garlic and thyme and also included a small onion and about 1 c of mushrooms. I intend to make this recipe much more often. Thank you for the delicious recipe. Seasoned salt instead of regular, onion powder and garlic powder as well as onions. I need more flavor. Part2: roast finished at 7pm. I have to admit, i have no experience making gravy. I put all 2 tablespoons of cornstartch in at once….
Strained it, moved on. Roast came out fantastic. Many comments about non-existant flavor. I did not experience this but i do not use salt very often. It tasted great to me.
But, to each their own. I thank the original poster for the recipe, we loved it and will be eating it for the next few days. It prevents the lumps and helps the cornstarch to incorporate better. I added onion, mushrooms and some red wine to mine just because that is what I like.
It is so soooo good. Very tender and not dry at all. Fully recommend this recipe. Had a 2 lb roast. Used the web site adjuster to show 4 servings to match up with roast size. Was wondering why the cook time did not change? After you place the seared chuck roast in the crockpot, add in the onions, carrots, and potatoes so they can cook with the pot roast.
While I like to use carrots, onions, and potatoes, you can add your favorite root vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, parsnips, or turnips. If the crockpot is not large enough to fit all the vegetables, you can slow cook the potatoes separately by making Crockpot Roasted Potatoes.
Then pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire and cook it on low for 8 — 10 hours and you will have the best pot roast you have ever had in your life! Since it was all cooked in one pot, you can spend less time washing dishes and spend more time with your family enjoying this incredible Crock Pot Chuck Roast and the roasted potatoes and carrots!
Go ahead and make this easy, flavorful, budget-friendly, and family-friendly one-pot meal. You will be glad you did and so will our family! Email Facebook Twitter Pinterest Instagram.

Thank you for your support! My roast is just under 2 pounds and I used all the same amounts as stated but I mixed them all together, patted to roast dry then covered the roast in the spices and rubbed them in and seared the roast.
Heated it until it boiled and thickened a bit then poured it over the roast and veggies. Adjust the servings to 6 servings, which will be 2. For example, instead of 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning, you would use 1. Your email address will not be published.
