*@Lisa I love you recipes because they are practical for the home cook and you explain well why you do what you do Thank you for sharing your experience!*

[@magdalenapichler4182]

You could add some quince jam after cooking.

[@juliarevaloarevalo]

To give extra flavor, I sauté the onion and garlic right after I seared the meat. Then I deglaze the pan with the broth. I normally use homemade bone broth. This extra step gives SOOOO MUCH FLAVOR!!!

[@Downshiftology]

Yep, you can definitely do that as well 😊

[@amandaklanseck6656]

Darn your right. I missed that. I’ll do it next time !

I'll be making this dish this weekend. My mom made this exact dish many many many times the same way you do it. I lost her in July after her 14 year cancer fight and it's just me and my father who's paralyzed in a hospital bed. Just wanted to say thank you for the sharing 🙏

[@Downshiftology]

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I hope this pot roast brings back beautiful memories ❤️

[@sunnychoc5]

Thank you. My Dad accidently bought a Chuck Roast and I have never cooked this before. I followed your instructions and it came out delicious.

[@Hbd2002]

My mom used to cut little slits in the roast and stick slivers of garlic in it. It was delicious

[@JacquelynJones-lh8ch]

Don't use the the wine, thyme or the bay leaf.

[@tsanseverino950]

My mother did as well 😅

[@TariqKhan-xt5qs]

Great video I just bought a slow cooker today. I appreciate how you get to the point without the mumbo jumbo.

[@jtking76]

A fine simple presentation of an American classic presented by a very pleasant presenter. Most excellent.

[@cindyfeinauer6371]

This recipe was so tasty, everyone in my family raved about how flavorful and tender the meat was! I added the veggies to the bottom, I subbed green pepper for celery. I didn’t have wine so I used a 1/4 cup tomato sauce with a 1/2 cup diced tomatoes and a little extra broth. I used two onions one raw and one chopped, the other I caramelized in the pan after searing the meat. I put that on top of the roast with the tomato sauce ,then added the rosemary, thyme and bay leaves. I also added garlic powder, paprika and celery salt since I ran out of celery. This is bookmarked, it’s delicious!!

[@nocturnus009]

Love this for every veggie available for the veggies late in my CSA & greenmarket, October thru March: parsnip, turnip, fingerling, shallot & certain beets.

[@Downshiftology]

Parsnip and turnip would be lovely additions!

[@johnkim1043]

Your narration style is just great. Friendly, intuitive and helpful. Gonna make this one! 🙂

Thanks John! Hope you and your family enjoy this recipe 🙂

Made this Tuesday and had it for supper 4 nights. Very good and love how the house smells. ❤️

[@lafandenuel5605]

shall I ask for more slow cooker recipes with garbanzo beans, lentils and any other beans of your liking? I find them so comforty and hearty in the winter. And leaving them in the pot in the morning and finding such a goodie to eat when you come back home to warm you up in the evening is just marvelous.

[@Downshiftology]

Absolutely! Will keep that in mind as I plan for another slow cooker recipe 😊

[@traceytheisen8067]

Made this tonight and it was delicious. I consider myself a talented home cook, and this was the best crockpot pot roast I've ever had or made. It was not greasy at all and full a au jus. I decided to put this over mashed potatoes so I loaded the crockpot with carrots and celery. I was out of fresh herbs and used a sprinkle of dried rosemary and thyme. I used chicken stock instead of beef broth (as shown in video) and wine as indicated in recipe. I started late and cooked a 4.25lb roast on high for 5 hours and low for 2 , 1 extra would have been sufficient. The meat was melt in your mouth tender. OUTSTANDING! Just something about this combination was perfect perfect perfect.

[@lisaarias2819]

I followed your recipe and was amazed at how WONDERFUL the pot roast turned out! Searing the meat and adding fresh herbs were the key. The meat was so tender. It was a huge hit with my entire family. There weren't ANY leftovers. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

[@charmeinereads]

The fire alarm is why I never sear meat like this *chuckles* I love this recipe.

[@peppermintwoman2049]

Just started my pot roast with this exact recipe....8 hrs and we eat!! Thank you!

[@Novice0825]

How was it?

[@anthony_lovett]

I have a lot of food allergies and Celiac's diease so I cannot eat in resturants and many recipes i am unable to make. I really really appreciate how many of yours contain whole foods and have substitutions :)

Happy to hear Downshiftology recipes are able to help achieve restaurant quality dishes right at home!

@@Downshiftology Yes! It smells so good cooking - maybe this will be my best one yet! =)

[@thecrusader3152]

I heard the instructions wrong. I opened the wine, poured it into the crockpot, then enjoyed the rest. It’s 2PM and I’m drunk.

[@marioncapriotti1514]

See, this is why I love my Cuisinart 4-in-1 slow cooker -- it allows me to sear, brown and saute ingredients in the same pot as I will slow-cook the final recipe in. I love not having to use separate pans and end up with oily splatter all over my stove.

[@kknep1091]

Just made your recipe today and must say it was fabulous!! Had to smile when you were talking about meat marbling just reminded me of advice my mother has given me. Thank you for sharing it truly is appreciated.

Your easy going and friendly personality makes for an entertaining and pleasant watch. Thank you and keep up the great work. I’m gonna try your cauliflower soup tonight and look forward to other recipes.

Although my grandmother wasn't a very cook, we had pot roast at her house quite often. There were no slow cookers back then, but this recipe looks like my past and family gatherings. Thanks for reminding me of a wonderful choice for dinner very soon.

I make this regularly. It’s a hit! And I can morph the leftovers into other dishes during the week. I add the herbs to the skillet when I deglaze the pan with wine and add the beef broth. Then pour into the crockpot. Yum!

[@Downshiftology]

Great idea on deglazing the pan 😊 And yes, so many ways to eat this pot roast over the week - which I have a few options written in the blog post as well.

Hi there! I know this is a culinary channel, however, I’ve always been curious to know your skincare (morning&night) routine because you have great skin! Not sure if you’re able to make a video on that, please.

Sometimes, I will share things like that on my Instagram stories, so be sure to stay up to date on those 😉

[@Boogiebear-1965]

I cooked a Chuck Roast in the oven a few days ago. It was so tough that some areas couldn't even be sliced with a sharp knife. As you can imagine, chewing it was impossible. After this disaster dinner, watching you prepare that Roast on a platter for serving brought tears to my eyes! 😢 I'm gonna dry my eyes and go buy another Chuck Roast, but THIS Time, I'll be using the Crock Pot! 😉

[@Lilp181]

Your meant to cover the chuck with foil and leave some butter in there let the moisture cook inside

[@Dragon_rls]

Ohhhh my😮. That looks too good 👍. Thank you for posting. This was an absolute piece of culinary art.

[@joete3324]

Oh....looks soooooooooo good! it's soup time y'all! thank you

[@mariacasella979]

It's an extra step but braising the meat first and adding all those bits into the crockpot is 😋she is the best👍😍

[@Downshiftology]

I couldn't agree more! It really adds to the flavor and texture of the meat.

[@mariacasella979]

Your so right!!we have fall here in Cali-out of all the days I ask for rain,it will rain tomorrow when we're at Disneyland!!but making this before we leave will be amazingly delicious at night and smell sooo good!!I love crockpot meals thanx for sharing 💖

[@Downshiftology]

This will be the perfect recipe to come home to after a long day at Disneyland! Hope you and your family enjoy this pot roast 😊

[@sabyegrp]

Great recipe. Followed every step. Added two items. About 14 baby Portabella mushrooms sliced and lightly saute' in olive oil, parsley and garlic, which I added to the mix as well as degalzing the pan. Also added a can of low fat cream of mushroom soup which I added to the beef broth and red wine in a large bowl and mixed well before pouring over the ingredients in the slow cooker. A great cool weather dinner.

[@Downshiftology]

Glad this recipe turned out great! It's definitely a winter staple.

[@rafitness3784]

This just made me hungry….awesome recipe will be trying this tomorrow for Sunday dinner

I from Canary Islands, Spain and I Iike eat special if healthy and homemade. Living in uk few years now I discover the slow cooker that is amazing device together with the pressure cooker that you can programme. In uk with the busy life and easy to find ready meal. No many people have time or energy to cook but watching your videos help me to find new ideas in my weekly menu. Thank you for your videos.

Enjoyed this for a few days! As advertised…so good and worth sharing! Even had the fresh herbs from my garden still on hand to make it!

[@diannamarie464]

Yes! Thank you for this video! One of my biggest problems that hold me back from making a pot roast is what type of meat and how to cook it because for some reason I never been good at cooking beef (except for ground beef of course, which I have used a lot!). The only thing now is I don’t have a cast iron skillet so what can I use instead? I have a stainless steel and a “nonstick”.

[@theresachristie7150]

I think that either of those would work fine! I have never owned a cast iron skillet til recently, and I have survived!!!!😁

[@juliemyersofficial]
