We guarantee you’re gonna love mamma Peggy’s simple slow cooker beef roast recipe! It’s so easy to prepare and your slow cooker does all the heavy lifting while you enjoy your day out of the kitchen.

We used chuck roast to ensure a dish packed with flavor and slow cooked it so it will melt in your mouth. You don’t even have to mix spices as we’ve used prepared spice packets.

Serve this beef roast with classic mashed potatoes and yummy Parmesan roasted asparagus. If you’re lucky enough to have any leftovers, they are perfect for street tacos or sliders!
