Pot roast is a classic. It is something that just about all of us grew up eating at dinnertime. My mom used to make pot roast every Saturday night, usually with red wine, and serve it with veggies and mashed potatoes. In the recipe below, I’ve made some adjustments to Mom’s old-school pot roast by cooking it in a creamy mustard gravy for a delicious take on the classic dish.

4. Slow cooker tomato Parmesan pot roast

In this recipe, we take the magic of sun-dried tomatoes and combine them with Parmesan cheese to make a beautiful crust on the roast. Paired with garlic and fresh rosemary, the flavors of this pot roast are sure to wow just about everyone. Make sure to let your roast rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This step is super important in keeping your roast nice and moist.

5. Slow cooker sweet & sour pot roast

We love an interesting take on a classic dish, and this amazing recipe for sweet and sour pot roast is no exception. The delicious recipe is one of our dream-dishes and soon to be go-to dinners on any given occasion.

6. Slow cooker Mississippi pot roast

We all love pot roast, but this Southern classic straight out of Mississippi will knock your socks off. The recipe below only takes 10 minutes to prep but has an immense flavor that your family won’t forget. By the time it finishes cooking, the meat will be fork-tender.

7. Slow cooker tender pot roast

In this recipe, we make a slurry with cornstarch and water and kick it up a notch by adding Worcestershire sauce. The cornstarch thickens up all the natural juices from the roast and veggies as they slowly cook. Be sure to let your roast sit for at least 10 minutes after cooking to keep it nice and moist before slicing and serving. If you have time, give the meat a good sear in a hot pan before putting it into the slow cooker for an even tastier roast.
