Does cold weather make you crave comfort food? I admit, the seasons do affect our menu at Two Kids and a Coupon. The hot summers are all about grilling and fresh produce, and the colder winter months are all about hot food and a comforting menu.
When it comes to making comfort food, this mom’s best friend is my slow cooker. Easy to use and great for busy days and evenings, making meals in the Crock Pot is easy and can take minimal effort.
One Midwest classic dish that is so easy to prepare in your slow cooker is pot roast. In this post, I’m going to share how to make a moist and tender roast with the perfect gravy to enjoy. Here is how to make it.
This easy slow cooker recipe does use beer to make a tender roast. If you prefer not to use it, feel free to swap out soda for non-alcoholic substitutes. Our recipe does have an 8 hour cook time, so this is a perfect meal to prep in the morning and allow to simmer all day.
• 3 lbs roast
• 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
To get started on this recipe, you’ll want to place your meat in your slow cooker.
Carefully place your potatoes, carrots & onion around the meat and then pour in the beef stock.
Add in the beer, or if you prefer, use soda instead.
Sprinkle in the salt, pepper & garlic. Feel free to add any additional seasonings your family loves.
Cook this pot roast crock pot recipe on low for 8 hrs.
After your roast is fully cooked and you’re ready to serve, take 2 cups of liquid from the slow cooker and pour it into a sauce pan.
Whisk in the water and cornstarch in with the roast juice to make a gravy. Bring to a boil, on medium heat, stirring frequently for 3-5 minutes until it begins to thicken. It will thicken some as it cools as well.
Drizzle the gravy over the roast and vegetables before serving if desired or serve with your meal for those who love gravy.
