Crockpot Pot Roast Recipe

This pot roast recipe by Simply Mama Cooks on YouTube can be made in a crockpot or in the oven. There are so many different methods and approaches, but it’s a simple recipe to slow cook until the meat is tender. Serve this pot roast on top of noodles or with other side dishes.

Ingredients:

• 2.5 lb beef chuck roast
• 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp coarse salt
• 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
• 1 1/2 lb potatoes
• 2 large carrots
• 1 celery stick

Gravy:

• 1/4 cup rendered fat or cooking oil
• 1/2 small onion (diced)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 14.5 fl oz low sodium beef broth or stock
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

First, start off with a season dredge. Then, use the dredge to coat the chuck roast. In a large pan, add oil over medium-high heat and brown both sides until it’s seared. Continue to watch Simply Mama Cooks tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and details.

Next, after the gravy is finished, add the chuck roast to the bottom and center of the crockpot. Add celery sticks, carrots, and potatoes around the meat. Pour the gravy on top of the chuck roast. Cover the crockpot with the lid and slow cook it an oven preheated at 275 degrees F for about 3 hours.

Overall, I would love to make this recipe because it’s an inexpensive way to serve protein with other vegetables in the same pot. It soaks up all of the flavors and juices from the gravy and meat. I think it’s a good idea to make this in a crockpot or oven if you don’t have a lot of time to sit around in the kitchen. Both of the methods work the same and would bring an amazing aroma while it slows cooks for a few hours.
