5-Minute, 5-Ingredient, Slow Cooker Pot Roast
As with Roast Chicken, I've made a lot of variations of pot roast over the years. Also like Roast Chicken, the simplest method produces the most delicious results.
This slow cooker pot roast recipe requires just 5 ingredients: a beef roast, butter, powdered ranch dressing mix, powdered Lipton soup mix, and a jar of pepperoni peppers.
Dump everything into a slow cooker and then let it simmer away all day, the meat getting more tender with every hour. Boil the liquid for a bit to reduce and thicken it into a rich gravy. That really is it.
I like to make as much pot roast as my slow cooker can hold, using the leftovers for other things later in the week, like pot roast sandwiches and pot roast soup, or instead of chicken or turkey in this Dutch Oven Pot Pie.
The meat also freezes well. All reasons to pack your slow cooker with as much beef roast as is reasonable. My slow cooker tops out at around 6 or 7 pounds of beef roast. Your's will probably hold a similar amount. This will give you plenty for dinner one night, assuming you're serving 4-6 people, plus plenty of leftover meat.
