One roast will be approx. 3 lbs. - Chuck, Rump, Heel or English. 
 
We frequently cook roasts in the slow cooker, but they can also be cooked in the oven, instant pot or electric skillet. Roasts are so versatile but some of our favorite recipes include pot roast, shredded roast beef sandwiches, roast beef and gravy over mashed potatoes, or shredded beef burritos.
