This pot roast turns out perfectly every time and has lots of gravy. Wonderful fall/winter comfort food!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This is a well-named pot roast recipe. It's just the perfect pot roast. Searing the roast before placing in the Crock Pot keeps in the juices and makes the meat more tender. Beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, and onion soup mix, when roasted with the meat, create a really delicious gravy. It's a wonderful and easy slow cooker dinner.

Note: If you love onion flavor and a little extra seasoning, use the entire package of onion soup mix. The Test Kitchen

How to Make Perfect Pot Roast

Step-by-Step

Brown chuck roast on top of the stove in cast iron skillet with a little canola oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
8 minutes on each side on medium heat.
In a Crock Pot, add two cans cream of mushroom soup, 1 1/2 cups beef broth, 1/2 package dry onion soup mix, and quartered onions. Mix well.
Add roast, potatoes, and carrots. Cover Crock Pot.
Cook on low for 5 hours. I serve with drop biscuits, homemade applesauce, and green beans.
