Craving a hearty and comforting meal that practically cooks itself? This Slow Cooker Pot Roast is the perfect solution! It takes 10 minutes to prep and yields the best melt-in-your-mouth, tender chuck roast you've ever had!

Ingredients

  • 3-5 pound beef chuck roast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons seasoning salt (or 1-1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper)
  • 3 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 large onion (sliced)
  • 5 garlic cloves (sliced)

Directions

  1. 1

    Using a sharp knife, make shallow incisions on all sides of the chuck roast to create holes for seasoning.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and red wine vinegar until well combined. Rub this mixture evenly over the entire surface of the roast.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle seasoning salt, dried basil, dried parsley, and garlic powder evenly over both sides of the meat.

  4. 4

    Place half of the sliced onion in the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the seasoned chuck roast. Layer the remaining onion and sliced garlic on top of the roast.

  5. 5

    Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

  6. 6

    Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the roast from the slow cooker and transfer it to a cutting board. Using two forks, pull the beef apart into shreds or large pieces. Serve alongside your favorite sides or incorporate into other dishes as desired.
