Chuck Roast Ingredients

You’ll need a few simple ingredients to prepare this flavorful meal in the slow cooker, including the following:

• Chuck Roast – Grab a roast that weighs around three to four pounds.

• Russet Potatoes – Cut the potatoes into quarters before tossing them into your slow cooker.
• Carrots – Chop your carrots into pieces and toss them in. You can use large carrots or baby carrots, whichever you like.
• Onion – Chop your onion into relatively thick, large pieces. They add so much flavor to this roast!
• Worcestershire Sauce – A touch of this sauce takes the flavor to the next level.

• Beef Broth – Keep your roast juicy, tender, and ready to eat with some beef broth.

Other ingredients you’ll need include Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, fresh garlic, butter, fresh thyme sprigs, and cornstarch. However, the cornstarch is optional yet works great when preparing your gravy.

Can I slow cook a pot roast on the stove?

Yes, you can make this meal on the stovetop if you don’t have a slow cooker. If you plan to cook it on the stove, make sure to use a large pot and keep the flame low so that it cooks at a slow and steady pace instead of cooking too fast.

What type of onion should I use?

A white or yellow onion would work best in this dish, adding the perfect amount of flavor while pairing well with the other ingredients, including the meat and carrots.

What can I do if I don’t have beef broth?

If you don’t have beef broth, you can make it yourself by combining beef bouillon with water and then thickening it up a bit with some cornstarch. You can also add additional spices that you like to give it more flavor.

Can I add other veggies to this dish?

Of course! Feel free to add what you’d like. However, peas and corn would taste great when tossed into your slow cooker with the other ingredients.

Recipe Notes

1. If you don’t want to waste time shredding your roast with two forks, use a handheld mixer or stand mixer to tear the meat apart in seconds. It works like a charm and will help you save time and effort in the long run.

2. While russet potatoes are best to use when preparing this flavorful roast, you can always use what you have available, whether you’ve got Yukon gold potatoes or even red potatoes.

3. When using baby carrots, you can toss them right into the slow cooker with everything else and eat them whole. However, if you plan to use large carrots, be sure to cut them into chunks or thin pieces before putting them in your slow cooker.

Enjoy a wholesome homemade meal made with fresh ingredients that require little to no effort with this recipe for Crock Pot Chuck Roast. You won’t need a lot of ingredients or time and can prep everything in 10 minutes before setting your slow cooker to low and cooking for six hours.
