Mom’s Classic Pot Roast braises into melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, with sweet onions and tomato sauce creating a rich, cozy gravy. The bay leaves add a gentle herbal depth, and a quick flour-thickened finish makes the sauce silky and perfect for ladling over mashed potatoes. Ideal for a relaxed Sunday dinner or any cool evening that calls for comforting home cooking.

1

Coat the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Season the roast with salt and pepper. Set the meat in the pot with the fat side facing up. Pour the tomato sauce over the roast. Arrange the onion on top. Add the bay leaves. Cover and cook on High for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, lower the heat to Low and cook for 6 to 8 more hours. Carefully lift the meat from the pot and transfer it to a warm platter.

Strain the drippings into a medium saucepan and discard what remains in the strainer. Whisk the flour into the liquid. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste; serve alongside the roast.
