Crock pot season is officially here—and we’re already three dinners deep.
There’s something about fall, cool weather, and comfort food slowly cooking away that just hits right. My mom and I both run our crock pots at the same time, which means by afternoon the house smells ridiculous (in the best way possible).
Today we’re sharing our Crock Pot Pot Roast Recipe, and honestly? It doesn’t get easier than this.
My mom taught me how to make crock pot roasts many years ago and she swears by the lipton soup mix seasoning packet.
It hasn’t failed us yet!-ha.
Crock Pot Pot Roast
Print Instructions
Supply List
- 3-5 lb pot roast
- 5 red skinned potatoes or any kind of potato
- 1 small bag carrots
- 1 diced onion
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 lipton soup onion mix seasoning packet
- 2 cups butter nut squash cubed optional
- 1/2 cup Worcestershire Sauce
- Salt/Pepper/Garlic Powder
Instructions : Step by Step
- Add carrots, squash, shedded cheese and onion to crock pot and cover with 2 cups of beef broth
- Add roast on top of veggies and stuff potatoes around roast
- Season beef with salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste
- Poke holes in beef with knife
- Pour Worcestershire sauce over beef (the holes in beef will allow the sauce and seasonings to soak in roast)
- Pour remaining cup of beef broth over roast
- Sprinkle lipton season packet over beef
- Cook on low for 6 hours
Once everything’s cooked, scoop it all out and pile it into a large casserole dish.
Want to take it up a notch? Pour those drippings and juices from the crock pot into a saucepan and bring them to a slow boil on the stovetop. Add cornstarch to thicken it up—how much depends on how much broth you’ve got in there, so start small and adjust as you go.
Here are a few of my favorite crock pots and serving dishes if you need them.
That’s it! I threw everything in the crock pot Sunday morning before we headed out apple picking, and coming home to that smell? Perfect end to the day.
