Slow Cooker Pot Roast With Mushroom Gravy

"This Slow Cooker Pot Roast with Mushroom Gravy is as close to Mom's pot roast as you can get. The roast is seared for a depth of flavor, then added to a slow cooker to simmer in a thick mushroom gravy with tender potatoes. It's perfect for Sunday dinner or busy days when you don't feel like being in the kitchen all day. A classic pot roast is something that never gets old. It's a comfort food that's been around forever, with a nostalgic pull that brings you back to mom's house with the smell of roast wafting throughout the kitchen when you walk in. But this isn't the kind of roast that uses a can of mushroom soup or brown gravy mix. This easy slow cooker recipe is made from scratch, down-home goodness.  Unlike some pot roast recipes that cook on the stove in a Dutch oven, this recipe relies on the slow cooker for slow cooking over low heat, allowing all those flavors to develop. A whole 8 hours of slow cooking is what gives you that fall-apart fork-tender beef that melts in your mouth."
