When I think about the best chuck roast slow cooker recipe, there is only one thing that comes to my mind. Crock pot roast made out of chuck roast beef 🙂
We recently had about a foot of snow fall which made us all feel like being home more. Naturally everybody wanted a more hearty/heavy meal. We were all craving a slow cooker recipe. Since we all love chuck roast, we didn’t have to debate on this recipe too long 🙂 We voted for a chuck roast slow cooker recipe, which seemed a much easier choice than this years election choice 🙂
Ok, getting back to cooking. So first things first, I made a quick seasoning for the roast with a flour, paprika, sea salt, freshly grounded black pepper, and some garlic powder.
I seasoned the chuck roast, preheated olive oil in a large skillet and cooked until the roast became golden brown. I would say about 6 minutes on each side. Transfer the roast to the slow cooker.
Next on my agenda was the sauce that would become the gravy. The beef roast recipe needed a kick!, thus I came up with something to add more taste to it. So after you transfer the roast to the slow cooker add the sauce and cook for approximately 6 hours on low.
The results are truly amazing. Take a look below, and don’t look for another recipe, I promise you will love this chuck roast slow cooker recipe.
