Betty’s Slow Cooker Pot Roast with Brown Gravy Recipe

In this video, Betty responds to a viewer request for a crock pot meal. Betty demonstrates how to use a crock pot to make a nifty pot roast meal–super tender roast beef, surrounded by potatoes, carrots, and onions–with a flavorful, velvety brown gravy.

    Hey Betty! I found your video very helpful. I liked the step to step instructions. I am a very inexperienced cook, but I found it very easy to follow your directions. It made the cooking seem less scary to me. Thanks a bunch!
