Best Slow Cooker Chuck Roast

If you know me, you know I'm a big fan of beef chuck roast. I've made beef chuck recipes in every way imaginable.

Let me tell you, this is the most tender chuck roast recipe. It will blow you away with flavor and save you so much time.

I would make slow cooker chuck roast on a busy weeknight when the kids had to be at football practice because I knew I could add it to the crockpot in the morning and come home to a perfect dinner! When we pulled up to the house after practice, the kids would get so excited. They could smell it cooking from the driveway and knew one of their favorite meals was waiting for them!

Crockpot Chuck Roast

What is chuck roast?

It's a cut of beef from the shoulder, neck, and upper arm area of the cow. Other names for chuck roast includechuck eye, chuck roll, and even justpot roast.

What is the difference between chuck roast and shoulder roast?

They both come from the same area, but the shoulder cut is leaner than chuck. It's better for carving into slices. Only chuck beef will give you the "pulled" texture of this

What is the best cut of beef for a slower cooker pot roast?

ChuckRoast or Chuck eye roast– so,sotender, shreds apart and melts in your mouth.
Bottom round or top round beef – leaner cut and good to use if you want to slice your beef.
Beef Brisket – a fattier choice that gets very tender, but can still be sliced for serving. Try our Easy Brisket Recipe (slow cooker or Instant Pot).

Chuck Roast in the Slow Cooker Recipe Tips

• You can substitute the wine for additional beef broth. However, you should still deglaze the pan!
• It's always best to cook this dish on the low setting for the most tender results. I promise, the beef will come out perfectly juicy every single time!
• Searing the chuck roast first on all sides, browning the onions and garlic, then deglazing the pan with the wine (or additional broth) adds such a boost of flavor.

Chuck Roast Seasoning

A simple seasoning on all sides of the beef with salt and pepper is best.

For a little something extra, you can add a bit of paprika or garlic powder with salt and pepper. Beautiful beef like this does not need more than that. It's already so flavorful!
