You should add veggies to a pot roast about halfway through the cooking time to ensure they are cooked but not overcooked.
Add potatoes and carrots to the pot roast in the crock pot during the last 1-2 hours of cooking to ensure they are tender but not overcooked.
First, brown the roast on all sides in a skillet set on medium heat with just enough oil to cover the bottom... 2 to 3 minutes per side should do... Place roast, veggies, and seasonings in crock pot... Layer veggies first (potatoes, carrots, then celery), set the roast on top. Add just enough liquid to cover the roast, set to high, then cook 9-10 hours... Best to let it cook overnight, then set to low to keep until lunch, or start in early morning for dinner.

How do I bbq a pot roast
Potatoes should be added to a roast in a crock pot during the last 2-3 hours of cooking to prevent them from becoming too mushy.
No. Just add enough water to fill the basin 1/4 of the way. The juices from the roast will add more liquid.
To make a delicious roast with potatoes in a crock pot, first sear the roast in a pan to lock in flavor. Then place the roast in the crock pot with potatoes, onions, carrots, and seasonings. Add broth or water, cover, and cook on low for 8-10 hours until the meat is tender. Enjoy your flavorful and tender roast with potatoes!
veggies, meat, butter, salt that is if it's already cooked
Easy: Place in a crock pot, add 1 cup water, beef or vegetable broth, 1 small onion sliced, garlic salt and pepper, cook on high 4 hours add potatoes and carrots cook 2 hours more and supper is ready- you can also add veggies to pot at the same time but I suggest covering crock pot with foil to make a "bowl" for veggies to sit in, place in this bowl cover with lid and set to medium. When you come home at the end of the day your meal is ready!
