Gluten Free Crockpot Pot Roast

Prep time20 min

Cook time8 hr

A deeply seared chuck roast goes into the slow cooker with a rich braising liquid built from red wine, beef broth, softened onions, garlic, and tomato paste, then simmers low and slow for hours until it's fall-apart tender. Baby Yukon Gold potatoes, carrots, and celery cook right alongside the meat, soaking up all that savory, wine-deepened juice as everything turns meltingly soft. Fresh thyme and a bay leaf keep the braise fragrant, while a scatter of parsley at the end brightens the whole platter. It's the kind of low-effort, high-reward dinner that practically cooks itself, finishing with a generous ladle of those pan juices over shredded beef and vegetables. This one is a great fit for a gluten free table, with no need to sacrifice that classic, comforting pot roast flavor. Serve it as is, in bowls with extra juices, or over mashed potatoes for an even heartier plate.
