Crockpot Pot Roast

Let’s pretend it’s Friday for a second. First, because Friday is the best, but also, this pot roast is another flashback post for me so we are going to pretend today is Flashback Friday. I’ve made this crockpot pot roast numerous times over the years and so I knew it would be the perfect main dish to share for Crocktoberfest! Pot roast is one of those comfort dishes to me. It’s warm and hearty and the meat is so tender it just falls off the fork. One of my most favorite things about this recipe is the gravy. It’s so flavorful! I love that I can throw everything in so quickly and come back to a great meal that tastes like I spent so long making it!

This is also one of those recipes that my husband can easily make which is perfect for me when I have longer days at work. My husband and I like to have mashed potatoes with this, so it’s not too bad if I just have to make a side dish when I get home. You could also toss some in the slow cooker if you want to save even more time.
