Tried and True Slow Cooker Pot Roast
Tried and True Slow Cooker Pot Roast will hopefully become a favorite recipe in your family as well.
I have been making this same Crock Pot slow cooker pot roast for over 20 years now (dang, just saying that makes me feel old).
It has been a favorite in my family for years.
And still requested by my adult kids when they come to visit.
I guess the secret is out now on how easy it is to make 😉
How to Make Tried and True Slow Cooker Pot Roast
It starts by chopping two onions, two large carrots, and some baby portabella mushrooms.
Place the 2 to 3 pound roast (beef or venison) in a crock pot.
Surround it with the veggies and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper.
In a bowl, whisk together a can of mushroom soup, red wine, garlic paste, worcestershire sauce, and a packet of onion soup mix.
Pour this mixture over top of the roast and veggies.
Then turn the crock pot on low for 6 to 8 hours.
Shred the Tried and True Slow Cooker Pot Roast with two forks in the crock pot before serving.
True story…I made this on an evening that I knew I would be home late. I was at my school’s Trunk or Treat passing out candy to my students.
So, when I got home I started shredding away still dressed in my Incredibles costume.
I’m sure I looked ridiculous plating dinner, also taking pictures, dressed as Elastigirl 🙂

I have made this recipe with chopped potatoes.
But my family and I all much prefer serving this roast over top of mashed potatoes…Bob Evans mashed potatoes to be exact.
They are just as delicious as homemade 🙂
