Creating an Easy Slow Cooker Cranberry Sauce Pot Roast is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients to ensure an efficient cooking process.

2. Season the Meat: Sprinkle salt and pepper generously on all sides of the pot roast.

3. Brown the Roast (Optional): For added flavor, sear the pot roast in a skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This step is optional but enhances the taste.

4. Layer Ingredients in the Slow Cooker: Place the sliced onions and minced garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker. Then place the pot roast on top.

5. Mix the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the cranberry sauce, onion soup mix, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Stir until mixed well.

6. Pour the Sauce Over the Roast: Pour the cranberry mixture over the pot roast, ensuring it is evenly coated.

7. Cook the Roast: Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. The pot roast is ready once it becomes tender and easily shredded.

8. Check for Doneness: After the cooking time, ensure the roast is cooked through and can be pulled apart with a fork.

9. Rest the Meat: Once the roast is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing or shredding.

10. Serve: Serve the pot roast with the cranberry sauce drizzled on top.
