We continue to get meat from our organic CSA Prather Ranch. (*please note this is an unsolicited plug. I was NOT compensated in any way to mention them.) Each month is a mystery. We never know what we get until we open up the box. This month, there was a two-pound roast included.
My growing son was so excited about this roast. At 13 and 5’8″ he is growing like a weed, and eating us out of house and home in the process.
Pot roast is typically braised and then slow cooked so it becomes tender, almost melting in your mouth. I am a bit lazy and so my roast recipe is not braised. As you can see below, I just dumped it all into my slow cooker. If you have a tough cut of meat, this is the best way to make it tender.
Even without the braising, my easy roast recipe made a delicious dinner our whole family devoured.
This roast lasted about 12 hours. That is it. My son really, really loved this boneless chuck roast dinner and had several dinners within a few hours :-).
Do you have boys? Do yours eat constantly? I am still amazed at how much food they can put away.

May 3, 2016 at 4:35 pmPot roast was always my favorite as a kid. My mom would make it sometimes on Sundays, and I always loved that tender juicy meat! I do miss it now as a vegetarain, but this is exactly the kind of dish I like to make for company. Thanks for the recipe, I bookmarked it for later!

May 3, 2016 at 12:57 pmI can’t believe you don’t have to brown this roast for great flavor. This is a “time saver” for sure. Especially on a busy morning trying to get out the door. YUM.
Sandi Gaertner
May 3, 2016 at 8:00 pmLOL I don’t have the patience for browning…I am all about easy.
Erin @ Thanks for Cookin'!
May 3, 2016 at 12:14 pmThis pot roast looks fantastic! I’ve definitely fallen into the slump of using canned soup and powdered dressing mixes on my roasts…. I can just imagine how much better it would taste using fresh ingredients like this!
Sandi Gaertner
May 3, 2016 at 12:32 pmIt is easy to fall into a slump when our families are so busy. Hang in there 🙂
