So simple, yet so comforting, this classic Slow Cooker Roast is a keeper. Look for a 3-pound boneless bottom round roast in the meat department.

Slow Cooker Roast

Cook meat in 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned on all sides. Drain off fat.

Add potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion to a 4-quart slow cooker. Add meat to cooker and pour broth over top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste.

Cover and cook on high-heat setting for 6 to 8 hours or until beef is tender and cooked through (165 degrees). Sprinkle with chopped thyme. Garnish with thyme sprig, if desired.
