🥩 4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Pot Roast
Ingredients
1.5–2 kg beef chuck roast
1 packet onion soup mix (or dry onion seasoning mix)
1 can (or 1 cup) beef broth
2–3 tablespoons butter
(Optional but common add-ons: potatoes, carrots, garlic cloves)
🍳 Instructions
Sear (optional but better flavor):
Heat a pan and brown the roast on all sides for 2–3 minutes per side.
Load the slow cooker:
Place the roast inside.
Add flavor:
Sprinkle the onion soup mix over the meat.
Pour in the beef broth around it (not directly washing off seasoning).
Add butter on top.
Cook low and slow:
LOW: 8–10 hours
HIGH: 4–5 hours
It’s ready when it pulls apart easily with a fork.
Serve:
Shred it right in the juices and spoon over potatoes, rice, or bread.
🔥 Tip for extra “wow”
Let it rest in its juices for 10–15 minutes after cooking before serving—it becomes even more tender and flavorful.
