    Ingredients for Vegan Pot Roast

    • Gardein Beefless Tips: These plant-based protein nuggets are the star of this recipe, providing a meaty and satisfying texture that closely resembles traditional pot roast. These DO contain wheat and are not gluten-free.
    • Red or Yellow Potatoes: Washed and quartered, these potatoes add heartiness to the dish and absorb the delicious flavors of the broth and seasonings.
    • Yellow Onion: Roughly chopped, the onion adds depth of flavor and a subtle sweetness to the pot roast.
    • Baby Carrots: These petite carrots not only contribute to the visual appeal of the dish but also add a touch of natural sweetness. You can truly use any size carrot you wish.
    • Mushrooms: Sliced, mushrooms bring an earthy flavor and a meaty texture to the pot roast.
    • Celery Stalks: Sliced into small pieces, celery adds a fresh and crunchy element to the dish.
    • Steak Seasoning: A tablespoon of steak seasoning elevates the flavors of the dish, providing a savory and robust taste.
    • Onion Powder: It enhances the onion flavor and adds depth to the overall taste profile.
    • Smoked Paprika: Paprika imparts a smoky and slightly spicy note, giving the pot roast a unique twist.
    • Salt and Pepper: Half a teaspoon each of salt and pepper season the dish and enhance the flavors.
    • Vegetable Broth: Four cups of vegetable broth serve as the base for the flavorful broth that envelops the vegetables and Beefless Tips, creating a rich and comforting pot roast.

    Tips for Making Vegan Pot Roast

    Can I use different vegetables in this recipe?

    Absolutely! One of the great things about this Vegan Pot Roast is its versatility. Feel free to swap or add your favorite vegetables to suit your taste preferences or use what you have on hand. Consider adding bell peppers, parsnips, or even Brussels sprouts for additional flavors and textures.

    Can I make this recipe without a slow cooker?

    Yes, you can! If you don't have a slow cooker, you can still achieve delicious results by using a large pot or Dutch oven. Simply follow the recipe instructions but adjust the cooking time accordingly. Cook on low heat, covered, for about 2-3 hours or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.

      Slow cooker meals are my FAVORITE!!! I got one as a wedding gift years and years ago, and I have absolutely worn it out! I would love to have a modern one. My favorite thing to make in it is black bean cream cheese chicken. I agree it and serve it on tortillas, and it's one of my favorite dishes, ever!

      I've seen several ways to make corned beef using a slow cooker and would like to try one. Boiling it with cabbage and potatoes doesn't cut it anymore.

      I love my slow cooker! I get it out almost daily. I cook a lot of beans from dry and the slow cooker makes that easy, or I love to throw a bunch of chicken breasts in there, and then I shred the meat and freeze it in dinner size portions so it's all ready to go. I have to say, though, that my favorite thing to cook it in is overnight steel cut oats. I throw them in at night before bed, set it to warm, and by morning they are perfect! Ready to scoop and serve. It doesn't get better than that!

      I've never made anything in a slow cooker because I've never been able to afford one. 🙂 And, I'm just beginning to enjoy cooking in general. Never was a fan, but I'm definitely interested in learning. I love to bake for people, but would love to make real meals too.

      If I had a slow cooker I would probably do soups, dips, and try all new things often. I'm just beginning to branch out of eating the same 10 things, each week my challenge to myself is to try something new. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not. However, the ability to have the time to cook is often difficult to find. I want to make healthy items (which, I have tried things off your blog), and I hate touching raw meat so your foods are definitely good to try!

        Slow cookers are not expensive and I am sure you could find one at a yard sale or thrift store. I use mine frequently, but I know a lot of people use their Instapot now, so maybe you can post on social media that are looking to see if anyone is not using theirs any longer that you could borrow or trade for something? ?

      My favorite thing to make crock pot style ... such a hard question. I have a few favorites: corned beef and cabbage with potatoes and carrots, green chili beef for my husband, and root beer bbq pork! I also love to make apple butter. But my crock pot is old, like handed down to me from an ex boyfriends grandma, and has a messed up lid. The thought of a crock pot switching to warm would be wonderful for those poorly planned busy crock pot days!

      I don't really do meatless, but I just had to comment and say that I agree with you about food coming from the crockpot looking… less than appetizing! It all kind of blends and mushes together. But I love my crockpot anyway! I just posted a video today about how I use it to make yogurt.

        ooh, i'll definitely have to check out the yogurt video. i've heard of people doing that in the crockpot and have been intrigued.
