Crock-Pot: Beef & Veggie Pot Roast

September 6, 2018 By //  by Brie OCD 2 Comments

beef and veggie crock pot roastPot Roast is the ultimate comfort food. I have to admit that I am not usually the biggest fan of beef roast in the crock-pot however this meat is so tender that it’s hard not to love. Give this recipe a try, it is packed with tender meat and tons of veggies!

PREP

This recipe is super easy to make it just takes a little bit of prep work to cut all of the vegetables and sear the meat. After that, its smooth sailing for the next 10 hours. You can cut down on the prep (and ingredients) if you use a reduced sodium can of beef broth instead of the sauce ingredients in the recipe below.

COOK TIME

I used a 2.5# chuck roast and had it in the crock-pot for 10 hours. For the first 8 hours I thought that the meat was going to be so terrible and tough, however it really tenderized the last 2 hours. You want the meat to shred easily with a fork (or two) when you pull it out of the crock-pot. That being said the veggies at the end of 10 hours are pretty soft. If you like your vegetables al dente I suggest adding them into the crock-pot half way through so that they end up a bit firmer.

CORNSTARCH TO MAKE GRAVY?

I just left the broth as is from the crock-pot when serving however if you prefer the broth to be more gravy like you can add some cornstarch to it (and stir). I would start with a tbsp of cornstarch and keep adding until it is to your desired thickness.

NUTRITION

Because the 2.5# roast ended up yielding about 2# when cooked (after fat was removed as well) this made 6 servings with about 5oz of meat per serving. Each serving has 438 calories, 16g carbs, 28g fat and 30g protein. This recipe is also gluten-free!

This is the perfect recipe for those gloomy of cold days! Hope you enjoy!

    This was super delicious and so easy! I didn’t have time to sear the meat or make the sauce so I just threw it in the crockpot with the veggies and some beef broth in the morning. So nice to come home to the dinner already made. Everyone really enjoyed it!
