This version of my Pot Roast is cooked in the slow cooker as opposed to the pressure cooker. The process is almost similar, it’s served in a pulled Beef fashion instead of slices. This method INMHO makes it more pot luck friendly. I also added mushrooms & potatoes and served the gravy or jus on the side as an add on.

At potlucks there are so many dishes that everyone wants to try. Most people want a little sampling of everyone’s great cooking. To accommodate that serving the beef in this style will enable them to try a little bit and come back for more if there’s more room. Leftovers make a great pulled beef sandwich. This is also a great recipe to make ahead and freeze.

Be sure to watch the video for additional tips, tricks and footage from the potluck!
