How To Make This Easy Slow Cooker Pot Roast – Step by Step
Spray the inside of the crock with nonstick spray and add 1-cup beef broth. Set the slow-cooker to HIGH heat. Cover and allow to heat while prepping the vegetables and beef. Add the onion and carrot halves to a skillet with hot oil and butter, cook until the vegetables are seared (browned). Then transfer the vegetables to the slow-cooker. Generously sprinkle the entire roast with salt, pepper and smoky paprika. Set the roast in the skillet, press down and brown the meat. When the roast has browned, set it on top of the vegetables in the slow-cooker. Reduce the slow-cooker temperature to LOW, then add 1-cup beef broth, wine, Worcestershire Sauce, bay leaf, rosemary, and thyme. Cover and cook 4 hours. Add the additional root vegetables over the roast, if using. Cover and cook an additional 3-4 hours or until roast and vegetables are fork-tender. Remove the vegetables from the top of the roast and, then, remove the roast. Keep the food warm in a covered dish set in a warm oven. To make the gravy, use a hand-blender (immersion blender) to puree the remaining vegetables and beef juices. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with remaining gravy.Enjoy!

What Vegetables Should I Use In A Pot Roast?
I want for carrots, potatoes and onions, a classic trifecta of veggies. But you can add in other herbs and vegetables as you would like. Play around with different root vegetables like turnips and parsnips, or sweet potatoes. In the fall squash would be awesome too. This dish can be adjusted to your favorite veggies with no problems!
Do I Have To Brown The Roast?
Generally slow cooker recipes don’t always instruct you to brown meat before adding it to the pot, but there are some advantages to doing so. If you sear meat to a crusty brown with a little oil in a hot skillet, the meat develops more complex flavors and improves the dish. It also locks in the moisture and keeps things juicy. It’s worth the little bit of extra time and effort in my opinion (but its optional).
