35 Reviews of Red Wine Crock Pot Roast

This was outstanding. The beef was tender and the gravy was delicious. Next time, I will let out the rosemary for it did give a stronger flavor to the beef. Served it with mashed potatoes and butter glazed carrots. I didn't add the water because the 2 cups of wine was plenty. With crockpot cooking, you don't need as much liquid.

This was sooo good. I used white wine instead of red wine. Since this was my first cooking with wine experience, I used 1 cup of wine to 1 cup of water. I had about 1-1/2 pounds of beef...2 at the very most. At the last 45 minutes or so I added 2 medium sized red potatoes that I had cut into quarters. The juices picked up a little bit of the potato taste. I think next time I make this I will use red wine and cook the potatoes separately. I liked the flavor of the juices before I added the potatoes a bit better. When I do the recipe again, I will review it again to let you know how it turns out. Thanks Rebekah!

Outstanding! My 3 lb roast was still somewhat frozen so cooked on high and was ready in just over 3 hours.

We got a bottle of red wine for Christmas so I tried this recipe and unfortunately it did not work out as well for me as it did for the others here so far. I too followed this recipe exactly but my roast came out dry....(which was my biggest problem overall)I would be interested to know if the other reviewers cut down on the cooking time maybe? Only karen in tbay mentioned a shorter cooking time, maybe that was my problem. We thought it tasted pretty good but we didn't actually rave over it. And my husband likes red wine. I will admit though that I do not like drinking it as much as white, but I will cook with it. I think that you have to really like your red wine to thoroughly enjoy this recipe. Sorry to change the five star status on this one Bekah, but I have to rate honestly based on my own experience with the recipe.

This recipe makes a very tender roast with an amazing sauce! A lot of flavor with very little effort. In my book that makes it a definite winner. I followed the recipe exactly. Wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for sharing Beckah!

Adding the red wine is a slight twist on my usual method of preparing pot roast. I usually add the wine only to the drippings when making gravy...cooking the meat with the wine provides a wonderful fullness of flavor. I didn't roast this for full time stated, as I believe my crockpot tends to cook a little hotter than most. I served the roast with garlic smashed potatoes, corn and a salad. Glad I tried this recipe!

I made this recipe exactly as written and it was soooo good. Such a nice change from the normal "gravy" roasts. The smell alone is worth making this recipe.

This was excellent! Smelled wonderful cooking and the gravy from it was wonderful also. Will make this again! Used a Merlot.
