Pot roast is one of my favorite things to make in the crockpot. It is such a simple thing to make in the slow cooker yet it gives you a filling and flavorful meal come dinnertime.

It’s one of those Sunday dinner staples that we make again and again because everyone likes it! You can also prepare it in the Instant Pot, just like with this Instant Pot Pot Roast and Instant Pot Roast Beef recipe.
