• 1 cup beef broth

3. Pour the mixture evenly over the roast.

Description

This pot roast turns melt-in-your-mouth tender as it slowly cooks in a savory onion-infused gravy.
The combination of onion soup mix and cream of mushroom soup creates a thick, flavorful sauce
that pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
It’s classic comfort food made simple.

Tips

• For extra flavor, sear the roast in a hot skillet for 2–3 minutes per side before placing it in the slow cooker.
• Add carrots and potatoes during the last 4–5 hours for a complete one-pot meal.
• If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir it in during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
• Let the roast rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.

Correction & Helpful Notes

• Avoid adding too much liquid; the roast will release its own juices as it cooks.
• Do not cook on HIGH for the entire time if possible — LOW heat gives the most tender results.
• Make sure to use chuck roast for best texture; leaner cuts may turn dry.
