I just finished making this dish for a family of friends. Pulling the 3 roasts out of the oven the last time was a revelation. They must be the most perfect roasts I’ve ever been privy to.

Thank you for this excellent recipe. The only thing I changed was to add some extra water (for the extra meat) and replace the beef broth and wine with a large can of crushed tomatoes. I think it would have been perfect either way.

Thanks again!

Thank you so much! If it weren’t for your best-of post, we wouldn’t be having a cozy New Year’s Eve of pot roast and Law and Order — it turned out beautifully!

Sara – I can’t think of a reason why it wouldn’t work. (Although I know you have more experience converting recipes for the crockpot than I do.) The only difference that I would expect to see is to have more liquid left at the end of cooking in the crockpot compared to the oven. Since the liquid is boiled down at the end anyway, I don’t think that would matter very much. And if I tried it once and found that there was a lot of excess liquid in the crockpot, I would just reduce the broth next time.

And of course you could add potatoes and more carrots right to the crockpot with the meat to make a complete meal. Cooks Illustrated had a variation that included other vegetables, but I haven’t tried it.

Do you think it could be cooked in the crockpot? I hate leaving the house with the oven on – I have a fear of burning the house down while I’m gone.

I don’t eat beef that often either, or most meat for that matter. In fact, the last time I bought it (the boyfriend *needs* his protein…), I was floored by how expensive meat was! Silly me That looks wonderful though – might have to make it sometime (for the boyfriend ).
