Notes
What is the best cut of meat for pot roast? The best cut of meat for a slow cooker pot roast is a chuck roast. You can also use top round, bottom round, or even brisket. Do you have to brown a roast before putting it in the crockpot? You don't have to brown the roast before putting it in the crockpot, but it won't have the same texture or lock in the flavor. I highly recommend you brown the meat first. Does liquid need to cover the pot roast in the crockpot? Your liquid does not need to cover the pot roast when cooking it in the crockpot. This recipe only calls for ½ cup of beef broth which ends up being the perfect amount. Why is my pot roast tough? If your pot roast is tough then you need to let it cook for longer to get nice and tender. If you want your chuck roast to be shredded instead of in chunks, then you will follow all the same steps except you will brown the chuck roast whole instead of in pieces. Then when it's done cooking, take two forks and shred the roast. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I reheat this in the microwave when I am in a hurry but you can reheat it on the stovetop on low for 10 minutes then serve.
