Ultimate Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Season the chuck roast with salt, pepper, and thyme.

Brown the roast in canola oil in a pan or slow cooker insert on medium-high for 4-5 minutes per side.

Place carrots, potatoes, and garlic in the slow cooker.

Lay the roast on top, add beef broth, and cover.

Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 5-6 hours.

In the last hour, mix cornstarch and water; add to the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.

Alternatively, thicken the liquid in a saucepan over high heat for 2-3 minutes.

Pour gravy over the meat and garnish with parsley if desired.
