Slow Cooker BBQ Pot Roast over Cheddar Ranch Grits – chuck roast slow cooked in a homemade BBQ sauce and served over Quick Cheddar Ranch Grits – this pot roast is SOOO good! I wanted to lick my plate! EVERYONE LOVES this pot roast!
Growing up I was never a pot roast fan, but since starting this blog I have found several pot roast recipes that I really like. Of all the recipes I’ve tried, this might be my favorite. The roast was extremely tender and juicy, and the sauce was tangy and has a little zip to it. I served this roast over some Cheddar Ranch Grits – OMG! The grits were good enough to eat all on their own, but were incredible when combined with the roast. This was SO good that I want to make it again next week – seriously!

This was great but the ranch was way too much. I'll leave it out next time.
I accidentally combined the milk and cornstarch with the rest of the ingredients. Hope it still turns out ok…. 😕

What kind of hot sauce do you use? This recipe looks amazing! Can't wait to try it!
Carla – glad to hear it was a hit!
gurrrrrl – this is a slow cooker slap FULL of ridonculousness. such a winner of a recipe! thanks for sharing. my family absolutely loved it.
I made this today & substituted a Diet Dr Pepper & didn't use hot sauce then shredded it up before adding it back to the gravy. Served on hoagie roll. It was super yummy! Thank you!
I immediately started drooling when I saw the pictures. Oh lordy, this MUST happen and SOON.
Taylor – no, it is a spicy ketchup. It is near the ketchup and cocktail sauce. It isn't very spicy at all.
Is chili sauce "siracha"? Is it super spicy? Thanks!!
