Ingredients
- 3-4 pounds chuck roast
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
- 1 cup water
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for searing, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Roast: Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over high heat, heat olive oil and sear the roast on all sides until browned (about 4 minutes per side).
- Assemble in Slow Cooker: Place the seared roast in the slow cooker. Sprinkle the onion soup mix over the roast. Add water, then arrange the carrots, potatoes, onion, and celery around the meat.
- Cook: Cover and cook on Low for 8-10 hours (or on High for 4-5 hours) until the beef is tender and shreds easily.
- Serve: Remove the roast and vegetables. Let the roast rest for a few minutes before slicing or shredding. Serve with the vegetables and cooking juices.
Notes
- Enhance Flavor: Add rosemary, thyme, or garlic for extra depth.
- Make it a Gravy: After cooking, thicken the juices with a cornstarch slurry for a rich gravy.
- Vegetable Variations: Swap in parsnips, turnips, or mushrooms for a twist.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
