Dump recipes are fantastic. They save you time, money, and can be outright delicious! This Slow Cooker Pot Roast is a perfect example of this.

It’s seriously the best pot roast I’ve ever had… the Texas BBQ kick just takes it over the top! Savory, a little spicy, and a little sweet, you will LOVE this.

Is there a meal more boring and bland than crockpot pot roast? At least, that’s how our parents might have made it. Well this piece of beef is anything but bland. This Texas Roadhouse Pot Roast is PACKED with flavor. There will NOT be leftovers with this one.

It starts with a chuck roast… the classic pot roast cut.There’s no reason to mess with that – the chuck roast is one of the most flavorful and rich cuts of beef.

As for the instructions – basically the only work is to chop the vegetables. After that, you just kinda throw it all in the crockpot and turn it on.

I usually place the meat first, then vegetables, spices and finally the liquid ingredients.

The BBQ sauce is actually a mix of your standard cheap BBQ sauce and tomato sauce. It works really well in this.

About 8 hours later on low, and it looks and smells wonderful. Oh my goodness there is SOO much flavor in this.

for the potatoes, you can chop them up and put them in with all of the vegetables. Or if you prefer, use them to make mashed potatoes. The juicesfrom the crockpot are amazing poured over mashed potatoes.

Absolutely one of the best pot roasts I have ever made. Family inhaled it and not a lot left over. Next time I will definitely add horseradish.

Lauren – once you add your spices and sauce do you stir it up or just leave it on top? What size crock pot do you use? My large one cooks way too fast even on low unfortunately.

I’ve made this recipe several times over the years & I add carrots Jay (a little over a cup of the baby ones), & they’re a great addition to this recipe.

Have you experienced problems with excess fat in the roasts? I spent a lot of time after mine was done removing fat.

Amber Attarzadeh

This was not really to my taste or my family’s. The BBQ flavor especially didn’t compliment the roast very well. It wasn’t terrible and it definitely had flavor, just not a flavor we liked. Too bad because it was easy to make. The roast I usually make is more complicated and time consuming.

I totally agree with you. The meat was nice and tender, but the flavour was just a bit weird. I think I’m just more of a “red wine, rosemary and bay leaf stew” kind of person.

I live an hour from town and we only go grocery shopping once a week , I have everything but the tomato sauce ….. think I could use a fresh tomato? We are snowed in so this seemed like a nice warm comfort meal to try

I see all these fantastic recipes which use BBQ sauce, this one in particular is making my mouth water, apart from one problem, I absolutely hate BBQ sauce it doesn’t matter if the tomato sauce makes it less smokey, because (and I think this is the same for anyone) I taste the smoke flavour over and above anything else. If anyone has any suggestions for alternative sauces I’d be happy to read them. Thank you

This is a recipe my husband and I conjured up some 30 years ago, adding some of this, some of that, wait, a little more of this, now it needs more that, noting every addition, until we were happy with the flavor. By the time we were done, we had filled a large mixing bowl! Fortunately, it keeps a long time in the fridge, thanks to the vinegar. Family and friends love it, and always request we bring it to cookouts. It’s a little tangy, a little sweet and a little spicy. You’ll want to omit the liquid smoke. 1…Read more »

Did you use the 1/2 cup of tomato sauce with this or did you omit it? Also, for this pot roast recipe, did you use 1/2 c of you own sauce you mentioned above? Thank you! I am wanting to try this tonight with your sauce recipe!

I too would like to know about leaving out the bb-q sauce. I don’t care for it, but I want a moist good tasting roast. Please answer quick, I only shop once a month as we onĺy go to the surplus grocery once a month. Help help. Thanks Gigi

I am making the instant pot version of this now. The directions just say pressure cook for 70 minutes. I assume you would do this on the meat/stew setting of the instant pot. Is this correct or do you use manuel setting?

How did it turn out in the instant pot? Did you slow release? And did you use the veggies on top ? Did you brown beforehand? Thank you!

Do you add a little hot water to be able to mix bullion cube with BBQ sauce?

This recipe sounds amazing! What are your thoughts on combining all ingredients on the stove top in a Dutch oven, and then popping the Dutch oven into the oven for cooking?

Hi Lauren,
My store was out of the bullion cubes so I purchased broth instead… How much should I use? Thanks!

1 cup of broth is equal to 1 cup and 1 cup of water.

So, would you do 1 cup of the broth and leave the 1/2 cup of water out?

Fantastic in the Instant Pot. The second time I kept the celery and bell pepper and potato out. After 70 mins I quick-released the pressure, added the vegetables + a few whole mushrooms and fresh green beans, and pressure cooked another 30 minutes.

I served it on mashed potatoes both times because the juice.s are wonderful and I wanted a good vehicle to consume tons of the juice.

I made this. I let it cook in the slow cooker overnight. In the morning, I let it cool and then sliced it up. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans.
It truly tasted like Texas Roadhouse pot roast.

I stumbled on this a few months ago. It’s now one of the most celebrated dishes in our house. Of course the veg depends on what’s in the house at the time, sometimes the bbq sauce changes, but this is the dish that makes my 11 and 14yr olds excited for dinner.

This recipe has been on our rotation since I found it in 2019. It is the best pot roast recipe out there! I refuse to eat it any other way.

I do not sear because I am lazy and I also sub ketchup for the tomato paste, but no one call tell the difference. Thank goodness.

I’m not a big slow cooker fan – most recipes I’ve tried have been underwhelming – until this one! I can’t believe how well it turned out. I did brown the meat first, and I also left the potatoes out and mashed them instead – great suggestion! The gravy was soooo good over the potatoes. I’m not a huge fan of store bought BBQ sauce but I have to say it worked really well in this and the gravy did not have an overly smoky flavor. I’m going to try the “dump” version (without browning) the next time, when we…Read more »
