This Slow-Cooked Beef Pot Roast is the definition of comfort food. Juicy, fork-tender beef is simmered with vegetables in a rich, savory gravy that’s perfect for spooning over mashed potatoes or rice. The secret? Searing the beef first to lock in flavor and then cooking it low and slow until it practically melts apart.

  • 2 onions, quartered
