Healthier Marie'S Easy Slow Cooker Pot Roast

• 3 pounds chuck roast
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 cup reduced-sodium beef stock
• 2 onions, chopped
• 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 3 carrots, chopped
• 1 stalk celery, chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)

1. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; brown roast on all sides, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer roast to a slow cooker. Pour the beef stock into the skillet, and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the broth and onions into slow cooker; cover and cook on Low for 5 hours. Add potatoes, carrots, celery, and parsley. Cover and cook on Low until roast is tender and cooked through, 3 additional hours.
