💬 “Say something to stay in the group! 💕 Because this meal is pure comfort — tender beef, rich gravy, and creamy mashed potatoes that melt in your mouth.”

❤️ Introduction

There’s nothing quite like a slow-cooked pot roast — the kind that fills your kitchen with savory aromas, tenderizes to perfection, and practically falls apart when you touch it with a fork. 🥹

It’s the meal of Sunday afternoons, family gatherings, and cozy evenings — a dish that feeds not just the stomach, but the soul.

Served over creamy mashed potatoes with a silky homemade gravy, this pot roast is rich, hearty, and absolutely unforgettable.

After hours of slow simmering, the beef becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender, the vegetables soak up all that flavorful broth, and the gravy ties it all together in one comforting hug of flavor.

🍲 Ingredients

🥩 For the Pot Roast:

3 to 4 lb beef chuck roast
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
1 large onion, sliced
4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
3 celery stalks, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups beef broth
1 cup red wine (optional, or use more broth)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
2 bay leaves

🥣 For the Gravy:

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups drippings from roast (or beef broth)
Salt and pepper, to taste

🥔 For the Creamy Mashed Potatoes:

3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
½ cup unsalted butter
¾ cup heavy cream (or milk)
Salt and pepper, to taste

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare and Sear the Roast

Pat your roast dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the roast on all sides until deeply browned — about 3–4 minutes per side.
This step locks in flavor and gives your roast that delicious crust.

Step 2: Build the Base

In your slow cooker, add onions, carrots, celery, and garlic.
Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables.

Whisk together beef broth, red wine, tomato paste, thyme, and rosemary. Pour over the roast.
Add bay leaves.

Step 3: Slow Cook to Perfection

Cover and cook on LOW for 8–9 hours or HIGH for 5–6 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and falling apart.

Once done, remove the roast and vegetables and set aside.
Strain the liquid and reserve it — that’s your gravy base.

Step 4: Make the Gravy

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
Slowly whisk in the reserved cooking
