Cover and cook on LOW 10 to 11 hours or until beef and vegetables are tender. Remove pot roast; trim fat, if necessary. Arrange pot roast and vegetable on serving platter; cover and keep warm. Just before serving, carve pot roast across the grain into thin slices. For gravy, strain cooking liquid; skim off fat.
