Slow-cooker pot roast is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and packed with flavor. This hearty dish is typically made with a chuck roast, which is a tough cut of beef that becomes tender when cooked slowly. The roast is seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic, then seared in a hot skillet to brown it. It is then placed in a slow cooker with vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and onions. A flavorful liquid, such as beef broth or red wine, is added to the pot, and the roast is cooked on low for 8-10 hours. The result is a fall-apart tender roast that is surrounded by delicious gravy and vegetables.
