Portobello Pot Roast Slow Cooker

Your new vegan holiday classic: This Portobello Pot Roast recipe!

Pot Roast is a classic meal that is warm and comforting in the fall and winter season. And typically, Pot Roast is made with a massive chunk of meat and vegetables, roasted for hours in a slow cooker or dutch oven.

It is an excellent dish for a classic Sunday family dinner or the main dish at holiday meals.

That's why I decided to recreate the traditional Pot Roast but with a vegan twist – Portobello Pot Roast!

This Portobello Pot Roast boosts all of the traditional, comforting flavors of the classic pot roast, but it is a healthier option for your next holiday dinner.

One reason I love this portobello pot roast is that it is perfect for the holidays. The ingredients are simple, and it is a crowd-pleaser.

The great thing about this Portobello Pot Roast is the minimal work that goes into it! All you need to do is prepare the vegetables, add some spices and broth, put it in your preferred cooking option, and let it cook.

You can prepare it in the morning before you start other meal preparations, and it will be ready in time for dinner. As a plus, it will make your house smell amazing and taste like you spent hours in the kitchen.

And of course, this Portobello Pot Roast is vegan, oil-free, and gluten-free, so it suits almost all of the dietary needs you might need to watch out for this holiday season.

Portobello Pot Roast is a new favorite in my house, and I hope it becomes a favorite in yours too!

How to Make This Portobello Pot Roast

This Portobello Pot Roast is made using traditional Pot Roast vegetables, carrots, onion, and potatoes. And instead of a chunk of meat, you use portobello mushrooms!

To make the delicious gravy-like broth that it cooks in, you will use vegetable broth, red wine, garlic, spices, and cornstarch which will harness all of those traditional pot roast flavors.

To cook the Portobello Pot Roast, use a slow cooker pot or a dutch oven.

There are also two different cooking times, depending on how long you have available. You can do a short cooking time, 3-4 hours on medium heat, or a longer cooking time, 6-8 hours on low heat.

And, if you would like it to be wine-free, you can easily substitute balsamic vinegar.
