Here's a simple and delicious recipe for a pot roast in a crockpot:

 

Ingredients:

- 3-4 pounds (1.4-1.8 kg) beef chuck roast

- 1 onion, sliced

- 4-5 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks

- 3-4 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

- 3 cloves of garlic, minced

- 2 cups (480 ml) beef broth

- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Worcestershire sauce

- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) tomato paste

- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) balsamic vinegar

- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) dried thyme

- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) dried rosemary

- Salt and pepper to taste

- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper.

2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned. This helps seal in the flavors.

3. Transfer the roast to the crockpot.

4. In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are softened and translucent.

5. Add the sautéed onions and garlic to the crockpot, placing them on top of the roast.

6. In a bowl, mix together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Pour this mixture over the roast.

7. Add the carrots and potatoes to the crockpot, arranging them around the roast.

8. Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 8-10 hours or on high heat for 4-6 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

9. Once cooked, remove the roast and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice it against the grain into thick slices.

10. Serve the sliced roast with the vegetables and drizzle some of the cooking liquid over the top as a flavorful gravy.
