My kids always ask for seconds and my husband says it is better than any restaurant roast. This recipe is perfect for Sunday dinners or when you have company coming over because it is easy to prepare and tastes like you worked all day.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Tender Crock Pot Arm Roast
1. Can I cook arm roast on high instead of low?
Yes you can cook it on high for 4 to 5 hours but the meat will be more tender if you cook it on low for 8 hours. Low and slow is the best way to break down the connective tissue in arm roast.
2. Do I have to sear the roast before putting it in the crock pot?
Searing is not required but it adds a lot of flavor and helps lock in the juices. If you are short on time you can skip it but the roast will not have the same rich taste.
3. What can I serve with arm roast?
Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread are all great choices. The gravy from the crock pot is perfect over mashed potatoes.
4. How do I store leftovers?
Store leftover arm roast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stove with a little broth.
5. Is arm roast the same as chuck roast?
No they are different cuts. Arm roast comes from the shoulder area and is leaner than chuck roast. It works well in the crock pot but can be drier if overcooked so keep an eye on the cooking time.
