This dish is the culinary equivalent of a warm hug on a chilly day. Who doesn't want juicy meat bathed in rich gravy, beckoning you to feast? Plus, it’s done in a slow cooker, so you can start it before work and come home to the heavenly aroma wafting through your house. Trust me; your neighbors will be envious.

Ingredients

• 3-4 pounds of chuck roast, the beefy star of the show
• Salt and pepper, to taste – let’s not be shy!
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped (crying is optional)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced – because garlic makes everything better
• 4 carrots, sliced (for that healthy touch)
• 4 potatoes, roughly chopped (if you’re feeling particularly potato-y)
• 1 cup beef broth (the liquid gold of the pot roast world)
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (say that five times fast!)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch (if you want a thicker gravy)
• 2 tablespoons water (to mix with that cornstarch)

Instructions

1. First things first, season that chuck roast with salt and pepper like you mean it! Then, in a skillet, heat up the olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Once the oil is sizzling, brown the roast on all sides. This adds flavor, so don’t skip this step!
3. Transfer the roast into the slow cooker. Toss in the onions, garlic, carrots, potatoes, and finally, the star players: beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
4. Sprinkle in the thyme and rosemary. Your kitchen should now smell like a culinary garden!
5. Cover and set your slow cooker to low for 8-10 hours. Go live your life while the magic happens.
6. When you return, your roast will be tender, falling apart like it’s been lifting weights. Remove the roast and veggies, and cover them to keep warm.
7. For the gravy, combine cornstarch and water in a bowl, then slowly mix it into the remaining juice in the slow cooker. Stir until it thickens and say a little thank you to the kitchen gods.
8. Slice up that glorious roast, smother it in gravy, and serve with your beautifully cooked vegetables. Enjoy the accolades from your awestruck family or roommates!
