One of my all-time favorite easy comfort food meals, this Crockpot Yankee Pot Roast recipe turns out fall-apart good! The broth keeps it nice and moist, and be sure to save the broth for your leftovers as it makes a rich and delicious au jus for sandwiches.
Like many of you, my husband and I both grew up with Yankee Pot Roast dinners frequently on the menu and we took those with us to make for our children as well. It is a great, complete meal that literally only takes a few minutes of prep, and then it’s cooking!
Making this traditional family meal in the slow cooker has been an epiphany! Different from other recipes, that I know I could cook equally as well stovetop or in the oven with better results, this one turns out so perfectly using the slow cooker that I will not go back to any other method!!

🔪 Step-By-Step Instructions
Making your crockpot Yankee pot roast is so easy! Just a bit of prep and let the slow cooker do the work.
- To get started set your crock pot to low heat and mince your onion and garlic, or blitz them in a food processor. This is especially helpful if you have family members that do not like chunky onion in their foods.
- Layer the minced onion and garlic on the bottom of the slow cooker then place your pot roast on top of them.
- Prep your vegetables next, wash and slice the carrots, celery and potatoes then arrange them around the sides of the pot roast in your slow cooker.
- Top your pot roast and vegetables off with the beef broth and red wine of your choice ( I like Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon ). If you don’t have red wine on hand, or do not consume wine, add the same portion of beef broth to substitute for the red wine.
- Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper (to taste) and top off with a tablespoon portion pat of butter.
- Place the lid on your slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6 – 8 hours, depending on the size of your pot roast portion. Remove the roast from your slow cooker when done and transfer to a cutting board or serving plate. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the roasted vegetables to a serving bowl.
Drizzle the remaining pot roast juices over individual servings, if desired, and enjoy!
