Should you sear a pot roast?
Honestly, it is personal preference on whether you want to sear your pot roast before adding the rest of the ingredients. Searing your meat in a skillet with a little olive oil helps bring out more flavor, however it does take an extra step and some additional time.
After searing your roast, follow the recipe as is, there is no need to adjust the cooking time.

Overcooking the roast will result in the meat being tough. You also want to ensure there is enough liquid in the crock pot.

You can certainly opt to use the method best for you. However, I find that the meat is much more tender cooked on the low setting.

This is a family favorite! We love it over egg noodles.
This is my new ‘go to’ recipe for a good family dinner as well as for company. Very flavorful and you can serve it over mashed potatoes, rice, on a bun, or whatever new idea you can create. This is even a great tailgate sandwich. It can cook through the night, shred, and serve warm or cold on a hoagie! Mmmmm!
This recipe is a family favorite, even with my very picky 22-year-old son! I jazz it up by also adding a packet of au jus gravy mix and a packet of zesty Italian dressing mix. We love it served over mashed potatoes or on hard rolls for sandwiches. Yum!
Mouth-watering melt in your mouth goodness! And so easy to prepare! This is my fave.
