Great recipe! Used mushroom broth instead of beef. Would definitely make this again.

This turned out SO good. I have a ton of leftovers, can I freeze it?

In reply to Helen. Yes that’s no big deal, the steam will help cook and flavor all of it anyway.

Goofed and poured the broth mixture over the meat before adding vegetables. Will the roast still come out just as delicious? Hoping so!

In reply to Gina. I’m so sorry this happened! I believe it’s an issue with the make/ model of some slow cookers. I’ve had a few brands I had to toss out Hamilton beach and an all clad didn’t cook evenly for me and took much longer to cook a dish than should be. You can simmer everything the stove to cook and tenderize faster. Sorry for the late reply!

It was bland. I should have called my dad. The 8 hours in my crockpot and it totally fell apart I probably should have only did 6 hours and added tons more seasoning.

One of the things I learned, which has a huge impact on the flavor of the meat, is to salt the meat 24 hours before you brown the meat. Simply coat the meat with olive oil, and salt both sides with kosher salt.
This allows the salt to be pulled into the meat tissue, which will result in a deeper color after the 24 hours.
I also add large flake black pepper as well.
Plate the meat and cover with foil.
Hope this helps

I followed the recipe exactly and after nine hours, the potatoes and carrots are not soft and the beef seems tough. I am not sure why this happened as I have made other pot roasts before. It is now Christmas Eve and I’m in a panic as I am supposed to take this over to my mother’s house for dinner. Do you have any recommendations on how to cook the potatoes and carrots quickly to try to salvage the dish??
