This Crockpot Chuck Roast recipe is the ultimate comfort food—tender, juicy beef slow-cooked with hearty vegetables for a delicious, fuss-free meal. Perfect for busy weeknights or a cozy family dinner, this easy slow cooker roast beef guarantees rich flavors with minimal effort.

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.
