The only pot roast recipe you’ll ever need– just throw it all in the slow cooker and walk away!
When we were growing up it was a rare treat for us to have pot roast for Sunday dinner. But that pot roast was always made in the oven.
It was very good, don’t get me wrong, but this recipe is made in the slow cooker and the roast just melts in your mouth with each bite it is so good!

- Using a turkey baster, retrieve most of the cooking juices from the slow cooker. Transfer juices to a small sauce pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat on the stovetop. Whisk together the cornstarch with a little water. Blend into the pan juices while whisking. Bring back to a simmer until thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Transfer the roast and vegetables to a large platter. Ladle the gravy over. Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
