For an even richer flavor, sear the roast in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker. This will create a beautiful crust and enhance the beefy taste. Consider adding a splash of red wine during the cooking process for depth and complexity. If you prefer a thicker gravy, remove some of the cooking liquid at the end and whisk in a tablespoon of cornstarch or flour before returning it to the slow cooker for the last 15 minutes. Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as parsnips, celery, or mushrooms, to customize the dish to your liking. This pot roast is fantastic served over mashed potatoes or creamy polenta to soak up all the delicious gravy.
