Do I have to Brown the Roast Before Adding It To the Slow Cooker

Yes. It is always a good idea to brown a roast before cooking it. When you make a pot roast in the slow cooker, simply add some oil (or a quarter stick of butter) to a cast iron frying pan.

Then, add the pot roast to the pan and let it brown on each side for a couple minutes.

Remove the pot roast from the pan and set it on a plate. In this recipe, you need to add a little bit of water to the pan to deglaze the pan.

Then, add the liquid from the pan to the slow cooker.

You can also use red wine or beef broth to deglaze the pan depending on the recipe.

This recipe can also be cooked in a dutch oven, which might be a nice idea for a cold weekend day when you don't mind leaving the oven on.

One of the best things about cooking with a slow cooker or crock pot is that you have more than one temperature option.

This recipe uses low temperature to cook the pot roast. However, check the pot roast when there is about an hour left in the cooking time.

If the roast isn't tender enough for you (or falling apart), it is okay to turn it up to high for the last hour.

Also, if you don't remember to put the pot roast in the slow cooker early enough in the day, it is okay to cook it on high. Just remember to reduce the cooking time.

How to Make Pot Roast in a Slow Cooker

I've made pot roast in my slow cooker for years, and normally don't follow a recipe. Pot roast is one of those meals that allows for variation. It's one of the things that makes it so great.

For this slow cooker pot roast recipe, start with browning each side of the chuck roast (or other type or roast--it doesn't have to be a specific kind) in a skillet.

Then, deglaze the skillet with water. Add in the dry onion soup mix and add that liquid to the slow cooker, along with the roast. Season with salt and pepper.

Add in the cream of mushroom soup (golden mushroom soup also offers a nice flavor) and the potatoes to the slow cooker.

This is also where you can add in additional vegetables. I normally add carrots, onion, and sometimes celery or bell pepper.

The extra veggies are completely optional, but they do add a nice flavor, as well as rounding out a nice and hearty meal.

After that, all that is left to do is turn the slow cooker on and set a timer. I love my digital Crock-Pot because I can set the cooking time.

When the cooking time finishes, it stays on warm until it is turned off. This prevents meals from over-cooking.
