Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Slow Cooker Pot Roast is cubes of chuck roast that are seared and then slowly cooked with a flavorful blend of spices and liquids. At the end of the cooking time, a slurry is added to thicken the sauce, resulting in a gravy-like consistency. Pair the tender meat with some mashed potatoes for a comforting, tasty meal any night of the week!
