There’s nothing quite like coming home to the comforting aroma of a pot roast that’s been simmering away all day. This 5-ingredient slow cooker pot roast is a lifesaver for busy weekdays when you want a hearty meal without the fuss. Using a chuck roast, which is perfect for slow cooking, this dish is all about simplicity and flavor. It’s one of those recipes that feels like a warm hug after a long day, and it’s been a staple in my kitchen ever since I started juggling work and my love for cooking.

This pot roast pairs beautifully with classic sides like creamy mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles.
