Key Ingredients

Here is what you need for this homestyle from scratch meal:

• Chuck Roast: A 3-4 pound beef chuck roast is cooked until fork tender. When looking for the perfect roast, go with one that has a bright white marbling throughout the meat.
• Gold Potatoes: These potatoes will absorb the flavors from the beef broth and be soft to eat.
• Seasonings: Salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, fresh garlic, and shallots are added over the roast and add an amazing flavor to the meat and broth.
• Gravy: Heavy cream, cornstarch, and blue cheese are combined with some of the cooked beef drippings for a smooth and creamy gravy.

How to make Pot Roast with Blue Cheese Gravy

Make this fancy roast with blue cheese gravy ALL in the crockpot:

Step One – Place the chuck roast in the slow cooker and pour the beef broth over the top. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Add the minced garlic and shallot directly on top of the roast. Arrange the baby potatoes around the edges.

Step Two – Cover and cook on low for 8–9 hours. Once done, transfer the roast and potatoes to a serving platter and cover tightly with foil to keep warm.

Step Three – Carefully remove the drippings from the slow cooker and return 1 cup to the insert (do not wash it, as this helps maintain the heat). Turn the slow cooker to high. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and cornstarch, then stir it into the drippings along with the blue cheese crumbles. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook for 30–45 minutes, or until the gravy thickens. For faster results, heat the mixture on the stovetop in a saucepan.
