Slow Cooker Pot Roast with Gravy & Mashed Potatoes

adminon

Step 6: Make the Mashed Potatoes

While the roast cooks, prepare your mashed potatoes. Boil peeled and cubed potatoes in salted water for 15–20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and mash them with butter and warm milk (or cream). Add salt, pepper, and optional sour cream for extra richness.

Step 7: Assemble & Serve

Shred the roast slightly with two forks. Serve it alongside a generous scoop of mashed potatoes, then drizzle everything with that thick, savory gravy. Garnish with chopped parsley for a touch of color.

Tips for the Best Pot Roast

  • Choose the right cut: Chuck roast is perfect because it becomes juicy and tender after slow cooking.
  • Don’t skip searing: It locks in flavor and gives your gravy a rich taste.
  • Add red wine: For an even deeper flavor, replace ½ cup of the beef broth with red wine.
  • Use fresh herbs: A few sprigs of fresh thyme or rosemary elevate the aroma.
  • Thick gravy tip: If your gravy isn’t thick enough, just add a bit more cornstarch slurry.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Hands-off cooking: Just a few minutes of prep and your slow cooker does the rest.
  • Crowd-pleaser: Perfect for family dinners, holidays, or lazy Sundays.
  • Incredible leftovers: The flavors deepen overnight, making it even tastier the next day.
  • Comfort on a plate: Juicy beef, buttery mashed potatoes, and rich homemade gravy — pure satisfaction.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stove, adding a splash of beef broth if needed to keep it moist.

You can also freeze portions of the roast (without potatoes) for up to 3 months — perfect for easy meals later.

Final Touch

Serve with a side of steamed green beans or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. Once you taste how the beef melts in your mouth and the gravy blends with the creamy mashed potatoes, you’ll understand why this recipe has stood the test of time.
