No Fail Beef Pot Roast - Makes it's own Gravy

A fail-proof slow cooker recipe for crock pot roast beef (chuck roast) with potatoes, carrots and the best gravy ever!

Pot Roast is another one of my favorite comfort food meals. Just the smell of it!!! how is lingers through the house while it cooks, it really is simply the best. We stumbled upon a great sale on Chuck Roasts, so we bought four of them. 

How can you resist at $5-$6 each ($1.99 price per pound) what a steal of a deal. I make so many meals with a chuck roast, Shredded Beef Taco’s,  No Peek Beef Tip’s, and this No Fail Pot Roast recipe. 

This is kind of my fix it and forget it meal. Just toss all the ingredients in the crock pot and forget it. Well except for the veggies I add those the last hour of the cooking process so i don't have mushy veggies.

What I love most about this recipe is that by the time it is all finished and done with it makes it's own gravy. The meat is fork tender and falls apart. This is a perfect Sunday meal or if you have guests coming over. Everyone loves a good pot roast. Serve with hot dinner rolls to sop up all that good gravy. 

The most important step in my opinion is to make sure to sear the roast before adding it to the slow cooker. Searing adds a depth of flavor, color and caramelizes the sugar and natural proteins in the meat.  I also like to add fresh herbs and bay leaves. 

Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, turning the roast half way though. The full recipe is at the end of the post. 

Perfect every time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I call this my no fail pot roast, because really you can't mess this up.
