Crockpot

  • Cut the chuck roast into one and a half inch cubes, place in a large mixing bowl, and sprinkle the arrowroot flour over the top

  • Chop the potatoes, celery, carrots, and onion and add to the crockpot

Notes

Substitutions
  • Chuck roast- Using a chuck roast is best for pot roast, but you can use a bottom round, top round, or even brisket if you can't find chuck roast
  • Potatoes- I love using Yukon gold potatoes but sweet potatoes or parsnips would be great in this recipe
  • Beef broth- If you don't have beef broth you can substitute chicken broth but you won't get the same rich beef flavored gravy
  • Arrowroot flour- Tapioca flour can be substituted instead
  • Thyme- If you don't have fresh thyme then you can use two teaspoons of dried thyme.
Notes
If you want your chuck roast to be shredded instead of in chunks, then you will follow all the same steps except you will brown the chuck roast whole instead of in pieces.
Storing/reheating
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
I reheat this in the microwave when I am in a hurry but you can reheat it on the stovetop on low for 10 minutes then serve.
