Ingredients
4 pounds chuck roast
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 packet dry onion soup mix
1 cup water
3 carrots, chopped
3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
Instructions
1. Season chuck roast with salt and pepper.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat; sear roast for 4 minutes per side until browned.
3. Place roast in the slow cooker and sprinkle soup mix on top.
4. Add water and scatter carrots, potatoes, onion, and celery around the meat.
5. Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours.
6. Rest the meat for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with the juices.
Notes
For deeper flavor, deglaze the searing pan with a splash of water and add those juices to the slow cooker.
Cut vegetables into large, uniform chunks so they don’t overcook.
If you prefer a thicker gravy, whisk a cornstarch slurry into the liquid at the end.
