This is a hearty meal that you will serve time and time again. It can certainly cook on high while you are at church then all you need to do is add the cornstarch to make the gravy. Large family classic pot roast in the slow cooker is even better on those days when you have a full day planned and need dinner done without you hovering over it.

Large Family Classic Pot Roast
In the Youtube video, you see classic Jamerrill overfilling the crockpot and having to cut up the meat to fit. It’s my alter ego, Headless Jamerrill with the talking hands is the one who does that, you get to see her too. All the fun happens over on Youtube so don’t miss it by not clicking over. (Headless Jamerrill appears toward the end.) I’m just a large family mama trying to help out other mamas. Thank God I don’t need to have it all together. Yes and amen!
I like to serve large family classic pot roast in the slow cooker with a nice bowl of applesauce to complement it. You could serve it as is right out of the slow cooker. You could make some freezer biscuits or even some cornbread if you like. No matter what you serve with it, this meal is perfect on a cold day.

How do I prepare Large Family Classic Pot Roast in the Slow Cooker?
Just like most slow cooker recipes, this one is VERY simple! Spray your slow cooker with non stick cooking spray. Trust me on this one. Layer potatoes, carrots, then beef roast. Sprinkle seasonings on top then pour beef broth on top. Cover with lid and turn on high for 6 hours or low for up to 10 hours. Mix in cornstarch during the last 30 minutes of cooking to make the most delicious gravy.
