How to Make Crock Pot Marinated Pot Roast

  1. In a gallon-size ziplock bag, combine all marinade ingredients (see below).
  2. Cut the pot roast in half (if it's very large). Add it to the marinade bag, ensuring all sides are coated.
  3. Refrigerate the roast in the marinade overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
  4. Place the roast and marinade into your slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
  5. Remove the roast to a serving platter or cutting board and cover with foil to keep warm.
  6. In a medium saucepan, whisk together cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
  7. Add 1 1/2 cups of the cooking juices from the slow cooker to the cornstarch slurry (discarding any whole cloves).
  8. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook for 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  9. Serve the pot roast with the thickened gravy. Enjoy with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, noodles, or roasted vegetables!
