How long does a frozen beef roast take to cook in the crock pot?

[Kimberly]

I put a 2 lb. frozen beef roast in the crock pot around 10am on low its been cooking for about 6 hours. When should it be done? Should I switch it to high for a couple of hours to make sure that is is cooked through?

Put a fork in it and see if it starts to shred. Future reference, thaw it out ahead of time, preferably two or three days. That way some of the excess water and blood can drip out instead of ending up in the broth in your cooker. Nothing wrong with pulling that roast out, cooling for a couple of minutes, cutting in half, and throwing it back in. Next time for may want to consider a different cut for the crock, roasts are meant to be...roasted!

Yes, you might need to put it on high. You should have started it on high for a couple of hours and then turned it down. I think it will be fine. mm
