Kathleen Vasa
A simple crock pot roast for dinner that will have your family, and you, smiling till dessert.
ingredients
- 1-5 to 6 lbs chuck roast
- 1 pkg dry onion soup mix
- 1-12 oz can Cream of Mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 1/2 cups water (+ optional 1/2 cup water)
- salt and pepper to taste
directions
- 1
Brown/Sear chuck roast in a very hot skillet on all sides. This will create greater depth of flavor as well as melt out fat that can be poured off before slow cooking.
- 2
Cover the bottom of a 6 quart crock pot with onion slices. Place browned chuck roast in crock pot on top of the onion slices. Salt and pepper the top of the roast lightly.
- 3
In a medium sized bowl mix dry onion soup mix, Cream of Mushroom soup, and 1 1/2 cups of water together until well blended. Be sure to break up all the clumps from the dry soup mix.
- 4
Pour the soup mixture over the roast, coating it completely. For extra gravy, add 1/2 cup water along the sides of the crock pot. Be careful not to disturb the soup mixture on the top of the roast.
- 5
Cover the crock pot with a lid and set the temperature to medium high. Let cook undisturbed for 8 hours.
- 6
Remove roast from crock pot and place on a large platter for slicing. Stir soup mixture in crock pot to form gravy.
notes
Serve this wonderful roast with mashed potatoes, a perfect companion for the gravy made from the soup mixture and roast slow cooking all day.
