When thinking about how to make a beef roast in a crockpot you'll need to know what supplies to have on hand

You'll need: 

• A beef roast between 3 and 5 pounds.
• Potatoes that have been washed and cubed. No need to peel. Feel free to use white, gold, red, a mix or even sweet potatoes if you'd like. I peel sweet potatoes when using them in this recipe, but that's really up to you.
• 1 16 oz bag of baby carrots or 4 large carrots that have been washed, peeled and sliced thinly into to discs. 
• 1 pack of onion soup mix
• 1 pack of brown gravy mix
• 2 cups of water
• 1 teaspoon parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon thyme, rosemary, and basil
• 4 garlic cloves peeled and crushed slightly with a knife, but not minced
• A large crockpot
• 4-6 hours of time for cooking
• A sharp knife and fork
• A large platter for serving

Moreover, when discovering how to cook a beef roast in a crockpot you'll want to know how to assemble the dish

1. Set up your crockpot and open the lid
2. Put in the vegetables first on the bottom of the crockpot, just pour them in.
3. Place the roast on top of the veggies
4. Mix the soup mix packet and gravy mix packet into two cups of cold water 
5. Add the spices above to the soup mix and pour over the roast and veggies
6. Add the garlic next
7. Close the lid. 

Furthermore, when learning how to cook a beef roast in a crockpot you'll want to know how long and at what temp to cook your roast:

Turn the crockpot on low for 6 hours of cooking time and high for 4 hours of cooking time. If you like you roast well done rather than medium or with a larger roast rare, then add cooking time until you reach your desired doneness. I like my roast beef rare. 

Finally, when practicing how to cook a beef roast in a crockpot you'll want to know how to serve it.

Serving this roast is a snap. I pull the roast out with two forks carefully so it doesn't fall apart. Let it rest on a platter tented in tin foil for 15 minutes and then carve into thin slices on the diagonal. Pour a little gravy over to keep the meat from drying out. Serve the vegetables by arranging them around the roast on the platter or in a separate dish if you would like. This dish goes great with biscuits or cornbread. I also serve the extra gravy in a gravy boat at the table and allow others to serve themselves the amount they'd like to have for their portion. If carving isn't your thing, cook the roast until well done and shred, then place it back in the gravy and vegetables for a one-pot meal everyone will love.
