Steps
Place the pot roast into the bottom of the slow cooker.
Season the roast generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Sprinkle one packet of au jus seasoning and one packet of slow cooker pot roast seasoning over the meat.
Add the baby carrots and the chopped white onion to the slow cooker.
Add the chopped yellow potatoes on top of the other ingredients.
Pour 1.5 cups of water or beef broth over the meat and vegetables.
Cover and cook on high for 7 to 8 hours, or on low for 6 hours (Note: The transcript mentions 6 hours for low, though typically low takes longer than high; follow the meat's tenderness as a guide).
Notes
The author mentions that the cooking time can be adjusted between high and low settings. For the best results, ensure the roast is fork-tender before serving.
