Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Slow Cooker Pot Roast

This Slow Cooker Pot Roast combines Sunday dinner with meal prep! Enjoy the ultimate comfort food and a week’s worth of sandwiches with only 15 minutes of work!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs beef roast (pork roast works too)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp favourite spice rub
  • 5 medium carrots (cut into 2 inch chunks)
  • 3 small white or red potatoes (cut into quarters)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup veggie broth (or broth of choice)
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 2 tbsp cold water

Instructions
 

  • Place carrots, potatoes and garlic into slow cooker.
  • Season roast with favourite spice rub and place on top of veggies.
  • Add the broth (I use veggie broth because that’s what we have on board, but feel free to use what is handy).
  • Cook on low for 5 to 6 hours – this is based on your slow cooker. Mine tends to run hotter than others so your roast may take longer. And if it’s done sooner, let it rest on the warm setting.
  • In the last 30 minutes to one hour, mix the cornstarch and water and stir into the liquid in the slow cooker to thicken the gravy.
  • To serve, slice the meat and add with potatoes and carrots and top with gravy.

Notes

The leftover meat is perfect for sandwiches throughout the week.
