Slow Cooker Beef Pot Roast

Ingredients

• 3 to 4-pound chuck pot roast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3 to 4 medium potatoes, quartered
• 3 to 4 carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
• 2 medium onions, quartered
• 1/2 cup beef broth

Directions

1. Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper.
2. Place half of vegetables in bottom of slow cooker crock, top with roast, then add remaining vegetables and liquid.
3. Cover and cook 5 hours on HIGH or 8 hours on LOW.

Serves: 6-8

Test Kitchen Tip: Half of a 1 lb. bag of baby carrots can be used instead of 3-4 medium carrots. A long cooking time in moist heat will tenderize a tougher cut of meat. Therefore, using a lower-priced cut, such as chuck, is economical as well as delicious.
