A tender and juicy Pot Roast is comfort food at its finest! It couldn’t be easier to make with only 15 minutes of prep, and let the oven, slow cooker or instant pot do the cooking! We love to serve roast over mashed potatoes, with homemade rolls on the side! You can make it a well-rounded meal by adding veggies to the pot while it cooks.

How to Make Pot Roast

Sear meat: Heat a large large skillet over medium-high heat. Season roast with salt and pepper, generously, on all sides. Add oil to the pot and once hot, add the meat, Sear, cooking the meat until browned on the bottom, then rotating it every few minutes until browned on all sides. Place meat in the bottom of a lightly greased slow cooker (or dutch oven or instant pot).
