When it comes to comfort food, few dishes can outdo a Bacon-Wrapped Slow Cooker Beef Roast. This hearty meal offers a fusion of rich, savory flavors complemented by the smoky goodness of bacon. Perfectly tender and infused with aromatic herbs and spices, it’s an experience that rivals any steakhouse offering.
Ingredients
Scale:
3-4 pounds of chuck roast (or your preferred cut)
8 slices of thick-cut bacon
2 carrots, chopped into bite-sized pieces
2 potatoes, diced into uniform chunks
1 onion, quartered
2 cups beef broth (low sodium recommended)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon dried thyme
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Start by preparing your beef roast. Pat it dry with paper towels to ensure a nice sear, and season generously with salt, black pepper, rosemary, and thyme.
Wrap each slice of bacon around the beef roast, securing it with toothpicks if necessary.
In your slow cooker, place the chopped carrots, potatoes, and quartered onion at the bottom.
Carefully place the bacon-wrapped roast on top of the vegetables.
In a separate bowl, combine the minced garlic with beef broth. Pour this mixture over the roast and vegetables.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
Once done, carefully remove the roast and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the roast with the vegetables, drizzled with the savory broth left in the slow cooker.
