To give extra flavor, I sauté the onion and garlic right after I seared the meat. Then I deglaze the pan with the broth. I normally use homemade bone broth. This extra step gives SOOOO MUCH FLAVOR!!!
-
My mom used to cut little slits in the roast and stick slivers of garlic in it. It was delicious
-
I heard the instructions wrong. I opened the wine, poured it into the crockpot, then enjoyed the rest. It’s 2PM and I’m drunk.

Made this Tuesday and had it for supper 4 nights. Very good and love how the house smells. ❤️
-
I followed your recipe and was amazed at how WONDERFUL the pot roast turned out! Searing the meat and adding fresh herbs were the key. The meat was so tender. It was a huge hit with my entire family. There weren't ANY leftovers. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
-
This is the first recipe I looked at, and it's all I need. Wonderful selection of herbs and spices. Your kitchen is amazing :)

Just found your channel a few days ago Lisa. You are a great resource for reasonable healthy meals/alternatives. You material is well thought out and your presentation is easy to understand. Your easy going and friendly personality makes for an entertaining and pleasant watch. Thank you and keep up the great work. I’m gonna try your cauliflower soup tonight and look forward to other recipes.

Enjoyed this for a few days! As advertised…so good and worth sharing! Even had the fresh herbs from my garden still on hand to make it!

This recipe was so tasty, everyone in my family raved about how flavorful and tender the meat was! I added the veggies to the bottom, I subbed green pepper for celery. I didn’t have wine so I used a 1/4 cup tomato sauce with a 1/2 cup diced tomatoes and a little extra broth. I used two onions one raw and one chopped, the other I caramelized in the pan after searing the meat. I put that on top of the roast with the tomato sauce ,then added the rosemary, thyme and bay leaves. I also added garlic powder, paprika and celery salt since I ran out of celery. This is bookmarked, it’s delicious!!

shall I ask for more slow cooker recipes with garbanzo beans, lentils and any other beans of your liking? I find them so comforty and hearty in the winter. And leaving them in the pot in the morning and finding such a goodie to eat when you come back home to warm you up in the evening is just marvelous.

Always enjoy watching how wholesome and real your videos are! I’m no chef so I love the reality of your cooking so thanks again :)

Love this for every veggie available for the veggies late in my CSA & greenmarket, October thru March: parsnip, turnip, fingerling, shallot & certain beets.

Made this tonight and it was delicious. I consider myself a talented home cook, and this was the best crockpot pot roast I've ever had or made. It was not greasy at all and full a au jus. I decided to put this over mashed potatoes so I loaded the crockpot with carrots and celery. I was out of fresh herbs and used a sprinkle of dried rosemary and thyme. I used chicken stock instead of beef broth (as shown in video) and wine as indicated in recipe. I started late and cooked a 4.25lb roast on high for 5 hours and low for 2 , 1 extra would have been sufficient. The meat was melt in your mouth tender. OUTSTANDING! Just something about this combination was perfect perfect perfect.

This was really good. I did 3+ lbs of chuck roast (and forgot just the bay leaves) from the recipe. My husband, FIL and I really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing your recipe! I will use it again.
