Slow Cooker Beef Pot Roast

This is a time tested family favorite. My mom would always make this delicious, tender pot roast for Sunday afternoon company and it has always been a crowd pleaser.

3 medium potatoes, thinly sliced

2 large carrots, thinly sliced

1 onion, sliced

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 (3 to 4) pound boneless beef rump roast, brisket or shoulder

1/2 cup of water or beef broth.  (I use water with 1 beef bouillon cube but you can also just use water and it is just as good!)

 

Put vegetables in bottom of Crock Pot.  Rub salt and pepper on both sides of meat, then place in pot.  Add liquid.  Cover, cook on Low 10 to 12 hours (High 5 to 6 hours).  Makes 12 to 14 servings.

If you have a 5 and 1/2 quart unit, you may cook a 4-5 lb roast if desired.  Add listed amounts of vegetables and cook as directed.
