You are IN FOR A TREAT. First of all, this roast starts with my favorite cut of meat for the slow cooker – the chuck roast. It has such an amazing beef flavor. And when cooked low and slow, it becomes so tender.
There’s hardly any ingredients in this, and since you end up just tossing them all in the slow cooker, you could just as well toss them all in a freezer bag and cook this at a later date.
Serve it with mashed potatoes, your choice of vegetable and dig in. And then make it again the following week – I know you will 🙂

can i cook this on high with a decreased cook time?
I wouldn’t – it will dry the meat out.
I did it on high for about 4 hours and it turned out just fine.
[…] Slow Cooker Balsamic & Honey Pot Roast – I LOVE pot roast, and this recipe is such an awesome take on it. It’s so different from the Texas Roadhouse Pot Roast above, but it’s just as flavorful. Sweet, savory, and everything you need from a good pot roast. […]
Do you put the roast in frozen or thaw it out first?
Thawed out.
If I wanted to add chunked carrots and portals to the crock, how would I modify the spice and liquid?
Do you mix up the ingredients or just put them in without mixing?
Just made this…it’s easy and delish. Thanks for sharing 🙂
How can I do this as a freezer meal?
This might be a stupid question, but what does the 2.5 mean in the recipe??? “2.5 – 4 lb. chuck roast”
2.5 lbs
2.5 means 2 1/2 # (or lbs..) So between 2 1/2 to 4 lbs.
I made this today. My roast was just between 2 1/2 and 3 lbs. I cooked it for 6 1/2 hours on low. It wss so tender and juicy. The flavor was great, too. Only thing I might do next is increase the saltiness or decrease the honey just a tad.
Can you cook this meal be cooked in a 3 1/2 to 4 quart casserole type crock pot?
This sounds delicious. I was wondering how sweet it is with the honey? Thank you so much.
Should you boil water and dissolve beef cubes?
or just mix cubes with the rest of ingrediants
Has anyone used stock instead of cubes?
Yes – just substitute 1 cup of stock 🙂
This was amazing, the sauce tasted incredible! At the end, I added a bit of cornstarch slurry to the sauce to thicken it up slightly. This was so damn easy to make. However, mine turned out pretty dry (my fault). My roast was smaller, I think closer to 2lbs, and I cooked for 9hrs. I’ll definitely be trying this again and reducing the cook time, but how do I know when its done? 8-10 hours is quite a large range, I’m not sure if I’m aiming for the roast to get to a certain temperature?
This was fantastic! Best roast I have had!! I added potatoes and carrots it flavored them beautifully. Thanks for the recipe
