Q: Do I need to brown the roast before putting it in the slow cooker?

A: No! This is a true dump-and-go crockpot meal. No browning required. The Lipton Onion Soup Mix and cream of mushroom soup create a deeply flavorful, savory gravy all on their own. Just layer and go.

Q: What's the best cut of beef for slow cooker pot roast?

A: Boneless beef chuck roast is the best choice for this no-fuss crockpot roast. It has enough marbling to break down beautifully over a long cook, giving you that fork-tender, fall-apart texture. Avoid lean cuts like eye of round. They can turn dry in the slow cooker.

Q: Can I cook this on high instead of low?

A: Yes! Cook on HIGH for 5 to 6 hours. For the most tender, fall-apart results, LOW and slow (8 to 9 hours) is ideal. High works great too when you're short on time.

Q: Can I make this pot roast ahead of time?

A: Absolutely, and you should! This easy family roast dinner tastes even better the next day as the flavors deepen overnight. Make it the day before, store in the refrigerator, and reheat gently before serving.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Spray the inside of your slow cooker with olive oil spray. This makes cleanup so much easier.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the water, cream of mushroom soup, both packets of Lipton Onion Soup Mix, and minced garlic. Set aside. Pro tip: Swap the water for beef broth for an even richer, deeper gravy.
Layer the sliced onions on the bottom of the slow cooker.
Place the beef chuck roast on top of the onions.
Pour half of the soup mixture over the roast.
Add the potatoes and carrots around the roast. Pour the remaining soup mixture over everything. Pro tip: Keep vegetables in large chunks. They hold up much better over a long cook time.
Secure the lid and cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours or HIGH for 5 to 6 hours. Don’t lift the lid. Every peek adds 20 to 30 minutes of cook time!
Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing to lock in the juices. Serve with the vegetables and spoon that beautiful gravy right over the top.
