This recipe for Slow Cooker Seasoned Roast is made with a homemade spice blend with a secret ingredient.
 

 This recipe for Slow Cooker Seasoned Roast is made with a homemade spice blend with a secret ingredient.
I used to throw some veggies and meat in my slow cooker, turn it on for about 8 hours, and return to find some over cooked veggies and somewhat bland meat.  I was inspired to make a rub after reading through America’s Test Kitchen’s Best-Ever Recipes and saw a recipe for Chuck Roast in Foil (page 6 in case you want to check it out).

The original recipe has celery seed, dried thyme, and cornstarch plus the above ingredients.  (The quantities in my recipe differ from America’s Test Kitchen.)


I dipped my finger in this mixture to taste it and was very pleased with the way it tasted.


I only had half a bag of carrots in my refrigerator.  They were starting to get old, but they were still good to eat.

 This is a good way to use up some of your supply of russet potatoes.


Cutting it into large chunks makes it easy for picky eaters to pick it out.  (Though when it cooked and became golden – my son thought it was a tasty potato!)

Notice the two bay leaves on top.  You want to be sure to remove them after cooking.  Why?  Because, according to eHow, “because the bay leaf has a bitter flavor when eaten and is difficult to chew.”

Grass-fed beef is the best.  Want to know more about grass-fed meat?  Click here.

My roast cooked perfectly in 6.5 hours.

    Hello! Do you discard the left over seasoning ?

      What you don’t use, throw away.

    Hi, is it okay if I don’t have espresso to add in?

    Reply

      Sure. The espresso enhances the overall flavor, but if you don’t have any, your roast should still come out delicious.

    Sorry if this is a silly question but, does the roast taste sweet in any way?

      Not a silly question. But I would say that it does not taste sweet.

    Do you add any water or liquid seasoning of any kind?

      I don’t typically add any – the juices from the meat are usually enough. You could add a little bit of broth, though, if you’d like. I hope you enjoy it!

    I don’t see salt in the ingredients. How much do you use?

      Thank you for catching that! 2 teaspoons of salt is the answer. (I have updated the recipe and really appreciate you bringing it to my attention.) It’s a great recipe. Let me know how you like it. 🙂

    I’m going to have to try this the next time I make a roast! I always make mine in the slow cooker because it always is so delicious that way.

    I remember growing my dad would fix roast every Sunday for dinner. As a kid I hated it and though “not roast again!” Now I would love to have one every Sunday. Funny how things change 🙂

    This looks amazing. I’m never good at figuring out the seasoning for beef roast. I’m saving this for later!
