Slow Cooker Onion Soup Pot Roast 🍲
Ingredients
- 3–4 lbs Beef Chuck Roast
- 2 cans (10.5 oz each) Cream of Onion Soup or use 2 packets dry onion soup mix with 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (for searing, optional)
- 4–5 medium Carrots, cut into chunks
- 4–5 medium Potatoes, cut into chunks
- 1 medium Onion, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme or Rosemary
Instructions
1. Optional sear
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the roast 2–3 minutes per side until browned. (This adds flavor but isn’t required.)
2. Prepare the slow cooker
- Place carrots, potatoes, and sliced onions at the bottom.
- Lay the roast on top of the vegetables.
3. Add soup and seasoning
- Pour cream of onion soup (or onion soup mix + water) over the roast.
- Sprinkle garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper over everything.
4. Cook low and slow
- Cover and cook on LOW for 8–9 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours.
- Roast should be fork-tender and vegetables soft.
5. Optional gravy
- Remove roast and vegetables.
- Pour the liquid into a saucepan.
- Mix 2 tablespoons Flour or Cornstarch with cold water and stir into liquid.
- Cook over medium heat until thickened into gravy.
6. Serve
- Slice or shred the pot roast.
- Serve with potatoes, carrots, and onions, drizzled with the onion gravy.
✅ Tips:
- Use boneless chuck roast for even cooking.
- Add Celery or Mushrooms for extra flavor.
- Leftovers are perfect for sandwiches the next day!
If you want, I can also give a cheesy twist version where shredded cheese is added to the onions for a creamy, indulgent finish.
Do you want me to share that version?
