If you’re craving a hearty, warming dinner that basically cooks itself, this one’s for you. My Slow Cooked Pot Roast With Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes is rich, savory, and tender enough to shred with a fork, and the best part? It takes just 20 minutes of prep time.






A hand holds a white bowl with glazed meat on mashed potatoes. Another similar bowl is on the countertop, with a pot of mashed potatoes.

This meal is one of those crowd pleasers that feels fancy but is secretly super simple. It’s perfect for Sunday dinner, family get-togethers, or meal prepping for the week. Rich, satisfying, and made with love, just the way comfort food should be.

Slow Cooked Pot Roast With Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes


Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 3 lb chuck roast

  • 1 large sweet onion, sliced

  • 5 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp oil


For the gravy:

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 2 tbsp ranch seasoning

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot starch

  • 1 (6 oz) can tomato paste

  • 3 cups beef broth

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 2 tsp dried rosemary

  • 2 tsp dried parsley



Let’s Make It


Sear the Roast Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Pat the chuck roast dry, season with salt and pepper, and sear on all sides until browned (about 3–4 minutes per side). Transfer to your slow cooker.


Sauté Aromatics In the same pan, melt the butter. Add onion and garlic; cook for 3–5 minutes until softened. Stir in tomato paste and cook another minute. Add ranch seasoning, rosemary, parsley, beef broth, and Worcestershire. Cook for another minute. Pour gravy over the roast.


Cook Low and Slow Cover and cook on LOW for 8–9 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until meat is fall-apart tender.



A seasoned roast cooks and steams in a black skillet on a stovetop, with a blurred mosaic tile backsplash as the background.


This homemade buttermilk ranch seasoning uses real spices and shelf-stable milk powder, so it’s ready anytime you are. It tastes just like the classic ranch packets (think Hidden Valley vibes) but fresher, more customizable, and free from preservatives or MSG.
