Slow Cooker Pot Roast with Ultimate Mashed Potatoes

Slow Cooker Pot Roast with Betty Crocker Ultimate Mashed Potatoes

Like many of you, the holiday season is the busiest time of the year for me. It even seems like the busy season started unseasonably early this year, as I’ve been running in circles since early October. I wouldn’t trade this time of the year for anything tough. Even with all the hustle and bustle it’s still magical. One of my biggest challenges during the holiday season, is getting a delicious and healthy meal onto the table for my family – especially on week nights. My best go-to meal is a slow cooker pot roast served up with a side of creamy mashed potatoes.

Side Dishes Make the Meal

Slow Cooker Pot Roast with Betty Crocker Ultimate Mashed Potatoes

I always get excited when a meal takes no time to prepare, yet looks like I have been slaving in the kitchen for hours. This meal couldn’t be any easier to prepare thanks to the slow cooker and the Betty Crocker Ultimate potatoes which taste like homemade. Just after the roast finishes up in the slow cooker, I add some water, butter and milk into a pot for the mashed potatoes. They are ready in minutes. Easy peasy! These aren’t your typical instant potatoes either – they’re made with real potatoes and real cheese. Can you see that cheesy potato goodness?

Slow Cooker Pot Roast

ingredients:

3 – 4 pound beef roast, of choice (I usually go with whatever is on sale.)
1 can cola
1 cup beef broth
1 envelope brown gravy
1 envelope onion soup mix
salt and pepper
1 bag pre-washed baby carrots

directions:

1. Place carrots into the bottom of the slow cooker. Generously salt and pepper roast, and place on top of the carrots.

2. In a bowl, combine the cola, beef broth, gravy mix, and onion soup mix. Whisk until well combined and pour over roast.

3. Cover and cook on low for 8 – 10 hours, depending on your slow cooker. Mine takes closer to 10 hours. When done, the roast should easily pull apart with a fork.

Some things are just perfectly paired together, and that’s how I feel about this roast and a side of the Betty Crocker Ultimate Loaded Mashed Potatoes. My family goes nuts for anything cheesy and anything with gravy, so this meal certainly fits the bill. The combo of beef broth, cola, onion soup and gravy mixes gives the pot roast such a yummy rich flavor. This is by far my favorite pot roast recipe.

  • Your roast looks delicious! i make mine pretty much the same way except i add a packet of ranch seasoning into mine. My mom taught me this 🙂

  • We love the Betty Crocker mashed potatoes! They are so easy, and so yummy! I am always looking for good crock pot recipes, so thanks!

  • This sounds absolutely delicious!! I have never heard about adding cola before. Does that help tenderize the meat or add flavor? Whatever it does I plan on trying this for Sunday dinner tomorrow!!

  • I’m so glad I stumbled upon this recipe! I’m making this at some point this week, for sure! I bet the roast gets SUPER tender in the crock pot!

  • I have to admit I am skeptical when it comes to instant potatoes but I have made several of your recpies and have not been disappointed so I am going to take your word for it and try them out.

  • your pot roast and carrots looks so good I want to lick the computer screen, shouldn’t say this, but this puts my dads recipe to shame. Love how the pot roasts are always so tender and tears apart so easily.
