I was really excited to try this recipe due to the ingredients and the "5" stars. Unfortunately, it didn't give me what I was looking for. It lacked flavor, in my opinion. It was just so-so.

Can also use Stew Beef. Add a splash of red wine along with the beef stock- SO good!

Husband loved this. Only things i did different was use an equal ratio of beef broth and red wine in place of the chicken stock as suggested by a reviewer and i dried herbs. Hubby said I can't make pot roast any other way after this. Thanks Chef John

tried this recipe and it was delicious! Just love the ease of cooking with slow cooker, meat is always tender and delicious - i didnt have tomato paste so i used curry paste - just a little added spice was nice.

1 word: Delicious! I haven't done it with a BEEF roast, but I sure have done it a lot with VENISON roast. My husband hates mushrooms so instead of sliced, I would chopped them up really small or avoid them altogether. The only other change I made was using baby carrots instead of regular carrots. I use more veggies whenever possible to encourage my husband to eat more of them. The sauce thickens nicely in the slow cooker so I didn't have to thicken it later. Made it a lot in the past year (at least once a month) and will be making it again tomorrow (venison neck roast). Can't wait!

I would like to thank the chef that submitted this pot roast recipe. I really appreciate recipes that use fresh, basic ingredients. I don't want to use canned soups, dried soups and other processed foods in my food that contain wayyy too much sodium. This was absolutely delicious. Thank-You Chef John!

Excellant, awesome, the BEST! We all loved it. Thanks for this recipe, making it again for dinner tonight to share with another family. Can't wait for what I know will be awesomely delicious meat. This time I'll shred it into chunks and serve in pretzel buns.

Changes to the recipe: 3.75 lb pot roast (well marbled purchased from Costco), 2 onions, 1 14oz can of chicken broth, 1/2 14oz can of beef broth, .75lb of cremini mushrooms, 2tbs of flour, 3/4 of a 16 oz bag of baby carrots, no tomato paste, no thyme and no rosemary. I coated the pot roast with salt, pepper and flour. I then browned the roast and transferred it to the crockpot. Since I used baby carrorts I did not chop them. The roast cooked for 4.5-5.5 hours. When done, I transferred the cooking liquid to a pot and brought it to a soft boil. I think mashed 3tbs of corn starch and 3tbs of butter together in a bowl. I then transferred the mash to boiling liquid and allowed to thicken. I will make this again.
