Easy rump roast crock pot 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.
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!

Kayla says
I made this for dinner today and it was delicious. I love that it has real spices and not a packet of this or that. So good!!! Definitely will make again. Thank you for the recipe!
Chris says
I made this today and it was very good. I do think that my crock pot runs hot so it cooked on low for 5-6 hours. I usually use my clay pot for pot roast but it is not big enough for all of the veges that I put in it. Thanks for the recipe.
Tara says
Does it matter what kind of roast you use? I really like roasts that shred and haven’t had any luck unless its because I cook it on high.
Julie says
Do you by chance the nutrition labeling for this recipe?
Maria Gonzalez says
Wonder if this could be done in a electrical roaster??
Roger says
Love it
Malenda M. says
Do you think you can add the thickener straight into the pot so it’s already gravy covered?
Ashley says
Does anybody know the calories and serving size?
Jane Bosley says
what is the best type of beef roast for this recipe?
Jessica says
Ashley it serves 6 at 10oz. 468 calories per serving
Lisa says
What type of roast?
Carrie says
Chuck Roast works well or whatever happens to be on sale. There are many leaner options that work well also. Thats whats nice about slow cooking, comes out tender
Kristen says
What if I don’t have onion? And do you sear the roast before putting it into the slow cooker?
Carrie says
Hi Kristen, Onion would be optional so I wouldn’t worry about that. I like the flavor it ads but you’ll be good without it. I generally don’t brown the roast for this particular recipe but you can. Enjoy
June says
I will be making this soon. I am confused about time. It says cook 5 hrs. on
high, but then, says cook for 6 hrs.
Carrie says
Thanks June , I updated that with the correct time.
