Easy Crockpot Pot Roast

An easy, cozy family dinner.

How to make Pot Roast in the slow cooker.

You guys know I like to mix things up in the kitchen. I make dishes from pretty much every cuisine you can name: Mexican, Indian, Chinese, Thai, even Hawaiian. And I don’t shy away from trendy ingredients like quinoa or chia seeds.

But every once in a while, I get a hankering for plain and simple fare. No exotic spices, no fancy ingredients. Just a hearty, satisfying, meat-and-potatoes meal. And you can’t get much more plain and simple than a nice pot roast.

A good pot roast depends on a long, slow cooking to make it moist and tender. Which means, of course, that it’s a perfect dish to make in the Crockpot. First you season the roast with salt and pepper and give it a quick browning, and then you load it into the crock with veggies, broth and seasoning. Then just set it on low and let this Easy Crockpot Pot Roast stew all day long.

By suppertime, you’ll have a piece of meat so tender you can pull it apart with a fork, surrounded by chunks of veggie and potato. A complete, hearty meal, with nothing fancy about it.

1. 1. Spray a 6 quart crockpot with cooking spray. At the bottom of the crockpot place potatoes, carrots, onion and celery.

3. Combine broth, wine, Worcestershire, garlic, tomato paste, parsley and basil in a bowl. Mix until well combined. Pour over meat and vegetables.
4. Cook on LOW for 8-10 hours, or until the beef shreds easily with 2 forks and vegetables are tender.
