This slow cooker boneless chuck roast recipe leaves the meat and vegetables tender and delicious. The beauty of this recipe is the slow cooker does all the work, while you reap the benefits!
Flashback
Pot roast was the first meat I served at a dinner party. Sure, I’ve cooked meals for people but never for a crowd. And by crowd, I mean more than four people. I believe there were six of us. See? A crowd.
I wish I could say the whole meal came out yummy, but that would be a lie. I made carrots, oven roasted potatoes and pot roast. The carrots and the potatoes came out crunchy, not the way they are supposed to, but let me tell you, the pot roast came out superb!!
For that first dinner party, I used the same recipe I’m using today, but I cooked the roast in the oven instead of a slow cooker. That was the problem with the crunchy veggies – I had too many dishes in the oven. Luckily, we had rolls and a delicious dessert: my nana’s cake pan cake.
And I gave my guests a nice change. They really had to chew their vegetables, so they probably burned up more calories crunching on those darn things than if the veggies just melted in their mouths. (Aren’t I good to my friends?)

If I had a slow cooker back then, or crock pot as it was called, I think the carrots and potatoes would have come out perfectly. Or at least better than they did.
How to make a slow cooker boneless chuck roast
- Carrots, onions, potatoes, cream of mushroom soup, dried onion soup mix and beef broth
- The glorious boneless chuck roast
- The veggies and the meat in the crock pot – minus the potatoes
- The soups were added and the meal was slow cooked – the boneless chuck roast and veggies with broth cooked to perfection
I set the slow cooker on high for 4 hours.
After an hour, I plop the baby Yukon potatoes in the slow cooker and cover it again. I keep the baby Yukons whole, which makes for a nice chunky dish.
Three hours to go.

Time to take the pot roast out of the pot and put the veggies and gravy into a serving bowl.
I cut the string and then start cutting apart the chuck roast. Once it’s all cut up, I put it into the serving bowl to join the veggies and broth.
Time to plate some pot roast and we are ready to eat.
Mmmmm. Moist. Tender. Soft and scrumptious.

Thanks for the recipe. Google+ must have recommended this page to me because I’ve been searching for a slow cooker recipe like this recently, and read my mind to know that this would be the right one. My first visit here. I enjoyed the commentary with pictures through the stages of the recipe (and lessons learned), and then the full recipe summary at the end.

I’m glad you enjoyed it. It is pretty easy as the slow cooker does most of the work for you!
Vince
My favorite darling! I will also use a 5lb Boston Butt or Pork Shoulder and pour the rendering and veggies on rice and omit the potatoes. Happy New Year dear…
Elaine
Vince!
Nice! I like that idea as well. The gravy on the rice would be sooooo good!

I always use the onion soup mix as well when making a pot roast. I really like the flavor of it. But I always buy the russet potatoes and peel and then cut them up. But now that I’ve seen it your way I decided that’s too much work for me! Those baby potatoes look so cute and yummy, thanks for the recipe!
Elaine
Carissa,
Thanks so much. I’m all for no muss potatoes!

the only thing that I would do different is spread horseradish on the top it seems to tenderize but no strong flavor
Elaine
That sounds good Pam. I love horseradish, I’ll have to try it that way the next time I make this.
