This is one of those meals that my entire crew inhales and is a big family favorite. If you have any leftover (which is rare at our house), it makes the most delicious sandwiches!
The amazing thing about putting a pot roast into your crockpot is that you are able to use an inexpensive cut of meat. I typically will do a chuck roast or a pot roast for this recipe.
When choosing a piece of meat, look for one that doesn’t look super fatty. There is nothing worse than spending all day cooking a roast to find out that it’s mainly a fatty piece of meat.
I recommend using your crockpot on low for 8 hours. This will make your inexpensive cut of meat fall apart with a fork and tender.
The Best Setting to Cook the Pot Roast On
If you’re in a pinch, you can swap out a cup of beef broth for the au jus gravy mix. It won’t have the same amount of flavor. But it will still be tasty!
