With the Holiday season fast approaching it is time to start planning those Holiday menus. This Easy Slow Roasted Pot Roast recipe is perfect for any holiday meal. Slow roasting in the oven is the perfect way to cook a roast. It's easy because once you get all the ingredients together in a Dutch oven the low heat of the oven does all the work for you. You end up with a one pot meal that is fall apart tender. Once the meat and vegetables are cooked perfectly then the pan dripping are used to make a gravy that can be poured over the meat and potatoes. 

 How to make Slow Roasted Pot Roast

Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper.

Saute the carrots, onions and potatoes in olive oil and butter.

Remove the carrots and onions from the saute pan and brown the potatoes. Put all of the sauteed vegetables into a bowl and set aside while you brown the roast.

Brown the roast on high heat.

Place the roast into a 5 quart dutch oven. Add the beef broth to the bottom of the dutch oven. Pour the vegetables over the top of the roast. Place the lid on the Farberware oven safe dutch oven and slowly roast in a preheated 325 degree oven for 4-5 hours.

Slow roast the pot roast for 4-5 hours depending on the size of the roast. The roast I cooked here is 3 lbs, adjust the roasting time accordingly if your roast is larger.

The house smelled divine while my Slow Roasted Pot Roast was cooking!

Serve the pot roast on a platter with the vegetables. The broth from the pot makes a great thin gravy. You can thicken it with cornstarch and a little water.
