Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    At serving time, skip the cutting board and knife by snipping parsley with clean kitchen scissors.
  • tip 2
    We prefer to peel and cut our own carrots for pot roast, but to save time, you can substitute baby carrots instead.
  • tip 3
    Yukon Gold potatoes vary a lot in size. The best ones for this slow-cooker pot roast recipe are 1 1/2- to 2-inch potatoes. They should be big enough to stand up to 7 to 8 hours of cooking, but not so big that they have to be cut before adding to the slow cooker.
  • tip 4
    For the best texture, remove large pieces of fat and cartilage from the slow-cooker beef chuck roast and discard; cut into 1- to 2-inch pieces before serving.
