This slow cooker pot roast recipe, aka Rinderschmorbraten im Langsamkocher, is so quick to put together in the morning. It's an easy way how to make pot roast that will have dinner ready, almost the moment you walk in the door.
Use a beef rump roast or a chuck roast, well-trimmed of fat. A 3 to 3½ pound roast, together with the vegetables, will make about 6 - 8 servings.
Just want to make one very important point. This may not be an original German recipe ... although it tastes like one. Why? Slow cookers are very, very uncommon in Germany!
This recipe is my Mutti's adaptations of her traditional beef roast once she got one here in Canada.
Above, I omitted the potatoes. Then, I used my immersion blender to blend the rest of the cooked veggies into the sauce. The sauce needed a bit more thickening, so I used a bit of the corn starch slurry. So good!
I love using my new Cuisinart Slow Cooker! (I gave away my old one!)
Not only is it a slow cooker, but it's a Multicooker!
That means it can be used to quickly brown or sauté the meat (up to 400 °F) before setting it to slow cook (at various temps) ... and there's a 'steam' option as well!
With a 24-hour timer and an automatic Keep Warm feature, I LOVE this! You'll love using this, just like I do!

Mutti's tips on this ...
> Often, she browned the meat first when using slowcooker recipes. It does add to the flavor, but in this case, it really isn't necessary, unless you really, really want to.
> Even faster, she's put everything (except the potatoes) in the pot in the evening and keep in fridge.
> In the morning, she'd add the potatoes (pushing them to the bottom so they are covered in liquid) and then turn the slow cooker on.
Quick crockpot recipes make it easy to have dinner ready especially on those hectic days. This pot roast is one that works great for company as well on those busy days.

What others are saying about Oma's cookbooks
To those who don’t know Gerhild, she’s the Oma who put German cuisine on the map with her highly popular website, justlikeoma.com.
Oma dispelled, with great skill, my stereotypical view of beige-y sauce over beige-y sausage with beige-y sauerkraut and beige-y potatoes and finally – beige-y taste.
I thought all German cuisine was the same – sausage. Boy was I wrong.
Beautifully photographed, Oma’s recipes (in German Meals at Oma's) taste as scrumptious as they look.
Look out France, Spain and Italy. A new major European cuisine is about to give you a run for our palates!

Sehr Gut, Gerhild! Your Quick Fix Soups e-book is wonderful.
My Swiss wife is going to love the soups that I make for her with your recipes...
The extra tips and options that you give after each recipe are very helpful.
