A few ingredients you wouldn’t expect go into this recipe for Slow Cooker Amish Pot Roast!
As you may already know I love trying new recipes. I found this recipe online and had to give it a try. The coffee isn’t a big noticeable flavor in this recipe. The soy sauce, coffee and Worcestershire sauce along with the beef is surprisingly tasty.
Another great thing about this meal, is that besides the roast, pretty much all the other ingredients are normal pantry items I usually have on hand.
I start by browning a chuck roast in a skillet on the stove-top, then I add the roast, seasonings, soy sauce, coffee, Worcestershire sauce, onion and bay leaves on top. The Worcestershire sauce is my addition to this recipe, I thought it would add a little tang and lend a little more flavor to the sauce combination.
I served this roast and sauce with mashed potatoes, though I know this would be really good with rice instead.

Slow Cooker Amish Pot Roast
Equipment Needed:
- Slow Cooker – 5 quart or larger
Ingredients:
- 3 lb. chuck roast
- 2 Tbsp. cooking oil
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp. dried leaf oregano not ground
- 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- 1 large white onion sliced
- 2 bay leaves
To thicken sauce
- 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
- 3 Tbsp. cold water
Instructions:
- In a large skillet set to medium-high heat, add the cooking oil. When the oil is hot brown the roast on both sides.
- Add the roast to the slow cooker.
- Sprinkle the pepper, oregano, and garlic powder on the roast. Add the onions and bay leaves. Pour over the coffee, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 9 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
- Remove meat and place on a plate and cover with foil.
- Discard bay leaves.
- To remove the grease from the sauce I lay over a paper towel over the top of the liquid and then pull up quickly, and discard the paper towel.
- In a small bowl combine the water and cornstarch, whisk with a fork until smooth. Pour this mixture into the broth and onions in the slow cooker and stir.
- Cover the slow cooker again for about 20 more minutes with the temperature set to high.
- After the sauce has thickened, shred the meat and add into the broth in the slow cooker.
- Serve and enjoy!
Made this for family Sunday dinner. Pot Roast was delicious, gravy was great with mashed potatoes. Could have used more gravy, but otherwise was a great meal. Will make again.
I got this recipe 30 yrs ago from a parenting magazine. It a weekly go-to. But they also included a partner recipe to use the leftovers to create easy bbq beef sandwiches. Win win!
Looks and sounds delicious! Can’t wait to try it. Most Amish food is great! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Great tasting dinner.zThank u
