You only need five ingredients and some seasoning to make this super easy pot roast. No pre-cooking or browning required. It's a small effort for something to enjoy after a long day or shoveling snow. A family favorite for years.

Crock Pot recipes that are easy and full of flavor are essential when cooking for a family. This pot roast recipe has minimal ingredients and is super tasty. The gravy is rich and creamy; a perfect complement to the hearty beef roast. The Test Kitchen smelled amazing while this was cooking. Once done, the roast is tender and melts in your mouth. Delicious served over butter noodles.
