Crock Pot Roast Recipe

Let’s make the Best Crock pot Roast Recipe without any seasoning packets. Don’t you hate it when you are scrolling on pinterest trying to find a recipe and it requires several seasoning packets?

I know I do! I want to make something delicious without all the “junk” that comes in those seasoning packets.

Those packets often have fillers and all sorts of ingredients. Have you ever tried to read the back of one of those seasoning packets?

It is a long list and I don’t know what half that stuff is. I feel so much better just skipping the packets all together and I think the roast turns out better anyway!

Today you are going to see how to make an amazing slow cooker post roast with veggies that is not only gluten free, but also packed with flavor. I think you are going to be shocked how delicious this simple rump roast crock pot recipe is!

This is the Best Crock Pot Roast recipe!

Our entire family loves this meal and it is really so simple. Everything gets tossed into the slow cooker and you get to come home to dinner waiting.

It is the perfect meal for busy week nights!

You will need a crock pot for this yummy Slow Cooker Roast Recipe.

Now you definitely need a crock pot for this recipe. I have two favorite crock pots.

One is the programmable 6 quart crock pot. It is awesome and very nice on the budget.

I love that it will seal closed so you can transport it for parties and tailgates. This is such an awesome feature if you take your crock pot places.

I also love my Ninja cooking system. It is pretty awesome because you can brown your ground beef or your chicken in the pot and then let is slow cook all day.

That means one more less pan to cook for most recipes. This has become my new favorite crock pot just because of that one feature!

I am all about making things easier around here and having less dishes to clean up!

How to cook a roast in a slow cooker?

While this meal looks fancy and the meat is so tender and delicious, it is so simple. Literally, the crockpot does all the work.

Cooking a roast in the slow cooker is the easiest way to make a roast. The meat is so tender and you didn’t do anything but toss everything in the slow cooker!

Do you have to brown a roast before putting it in the crockpot?

No, you do not. You can toss the roast in the slow cooker without any prep work.

However, if you like to brown your roast first that is totally fine. Some people prefer to brown the roast a few minutes each side before slow cooking.

Make sure to brown all sides if doing this and use a little olive oil.

This is yet another reason I love my Ninja Cooking System.  If you prefer to do this, it is so nice having just the one pot and being able to do it all so quickly.

If you do not have a Ninja, put oil in a large dutch oven and sear your meat this way.

You can make this chuck roast crock pot recipe even easier!

Also, since I tend to be a little lazy in the kitchen, I highly suggest using crock pot liners to make cleaning the crock pot a breeze!

These are a lifesaver for our family! These will make this chuck roast crock pot recipe even easier.

5. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or cook on high for 5 hours.

How long should a roast Cook in crockpot?

We prefer our roast to cook on low for 8 hours. However, you can cook the roast on high.

If cooking on the high setting, 5 hours will be plenty of time for the roast to cook.

What is the best roast to cook in crock pot?

We are using a chuck roast and it turned out amazing! The meat was so tender and the flavor was perfect.
