Why This is the Best Pot Roast Recipe

• Simple Ingredients, Big Flavor – With pantry staples like dry onion soup mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and a little bit of Worcestershire sauce or apple cider vinegar, you’ll create a flavorful pot roast without needing any special ingredients.
• Perfectly Tender Every Time – The slow cooking process tenderizes the boneless chuck roast, rump roast, or chuck shoulder roast, giving you a fork tender, delicious pot roast every single time.
• One-Pot Wonder – Whether you use a roasting pan, large skillet, or slow cooker, this easy pot roast recipe is a great way to make a hearty one-pot meal with minimal cleanup.
• Ultimate Comfort Food – With red potatoes, baby potatoes, green beans, baby carrots, and other root vegetables soaking up the juices at the bottom of the crock pot, this is a classic pot roast turned ultimate comfort food.
• Versatile and Easy to Store – Store leftovers in an airtight container and enjoy even more flavor the next day. It reheats beautifully, making it a great idea for meal prep or next-day sandwiches.
• Flavor Boosters That Shine – A splash of red wine, a cup of water, or a bit of chicken broth mixed with the french onion soup mix or even cream of mushroom soup creates a delicious gravy you’ll want to drizzle over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or a crusty roll.
• No-Fail Browning Tips – Sear the top of the roast on medium-high heat in a large skillet to lock in juices and build flavor with those rich, caramelized brown bits before slow cooking. Use a paper towel to pat the beef roast dry before browning for best results.
• Dinner Time Magic – Whether you’re feeding a crowd or just want a cozy dinner, this french onion pot roast is the best part of the day. Just check the recipe card for exact cook time, and you’ll have a good pot roast ready when everyone’s hungry.

How long does it take to cook a pot roast?

There’s three ways you can cook a pot roast: in the oven, on the stove and in a crock pot. I love the crock pot option as you don’t have to tend to it. Set it and forget it!

Our favorite slow cooker here!

Low and slow is the plan when cooking a pot roast. You’ll know when the roast is done when it’s falling apart and super easy to shred with two forks. If you have to work to shred the roast, it needs more time.

Oven – 275°, with a lid on a dutch oven. You’ll want to cook 3 hours for a 3 pound roast.

Stove top – low heat, lid on a dutch oven, again, cooking for 3 hours for a 3 pound roast. If you have a 4-5 pound roast expect up to 5 hours.

Slow Cooker – low setting, lid on, 8-12 hours.

Ingredients for Slow Cooker Pot Roast

• chuck roast
• onion
• carrots
• celery
• onion soup mix
• beer, beef broth, beef stock, wine – any liquid or combination to cover the meat.

How to Make Pot Roast in a Crock Pot

Place the roast in the crock pot. Next, add the vegetables and liquid you are choosing. I use about a cup of beef broth. Cook on low for 8-12 hours. Shred the roast with a fork, the meat will be super tender and juicy.

Serve over mashed potatoes and a dinner roll or side salad for a complete meal.

How to Store the Leftovers

• Cool before storing – After cooking, let the tender roast and root veggies cool slightly before packing them up.
• Use airtight storage – Place the roast and vegetables in an airtight container or wrap tightly with aluminum foil to keep them fresh.
• Refrigerate promptly – Store in the fridge for up to 4 days for best taste and texture.
• Reheat gently – Warm leftovers on the stove over medium heat or in the microwave. Add a little water or broth to keep the meat moist and juicy.
• Cut into smaller pieces – If you made a large boneless pot roast, slicing it into smaller pieces makes reheating quicker and more even.
• Store gravy separately – If you have leftover gravy, store it on its own to make reheating and serving even easier the next time around.
