Ingredients
2 Onions, sliced
3-pound Chuck Roast
1 pound Baby Potatoes, halved
3 large Carrots, sliced
1 (10.5 oz) can French Onion Soup
1 envelope Beefy Onion Soup Mix
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 cup Water
Parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Layer sliced onions, halved potatoes, and carrots in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Place the chuck roast on top of the vegetables.
- In a bowl, whisk together the French onion soup, beefy onion soup mix, minced garlic, and water until combined.
- Pour the mixture evenly over the roast and vegetables.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 6 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm with mashed potatoes or your favorite side.
Notes
For a thicker gravy, whisk 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir into the sauce. Cook for 10–15 minutes on HIGH.
Add mushrooms, celery, or parsnips for extra flavor and texture.
Use sweet potatoes instead of baby potatoes for a different twist.
Sear the beef before slow cooking for richer flavor.
This dish also works great in the oven—bake covered at 325°F for 3 hours.
