Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 onions, sliced
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 large carrots, sliced

Meat

  • 3 pound chuck roast

Soup & Seasoning

  • 10.5 ounce can French onion soup
  • 1 envelope beefy onion soup mix
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup water

Garnish

  • Parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables and meat: Layer the sliced onions, halved baby potatoes, and sliced carrots evenly in the bottom of your slow cooker. Place the 3-pound chuck roast directly on top of the vegetable layer.
  2. Make the soup mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 10.5-ounce can of French onion soup, the envelope of beefy onion soup mix, minced garlic cloves, and 1 cup of water until the mixture is fully combined.
  3. Add the soup mixture to the slow cooker: Pour the prepared soup and seasoning mixture evenly over the roast and vegetables in the slow cooker, ensuring everything is well coated.
  4. Cook the pot roast: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on the low setting for 8 hours, or on the high setting for 6 hours. The objective is to cook until the chuck roast becomes tender enough to easily fall apart, providing a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  5. Finish and serve: Once cooking is complete, optionally garnish the pot roast with chopped parsley for a fresh flavor and serve hot with the cooked vegetables and juices from the slow cooker.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use a chuck roast with good marbling to ensure tenderness and juiciness.
  • Baby potatoes can be substituted with small red or Yukon gold potatoes if preferred.
  • Adjust seasoning by adding salt and pepper before cooking if desired, although the soup mix provides substantial flavor.
  • If you want thicker gravy, remove the roast and vegetables at the end and simmer the cooking liquid on the stovetop until reduced to your desired consistency.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
