Easy Tender Chuck Roast
Turn an affordable chuck roast into a tender, flavorful dinner with very little hands-on work. Slow cooking allows the beef to become incredibly soft while the onions and broth create a rich, savory gravy.
Ingredients
- 3–4 lb chuck roast
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 tablespoon oil
Instructions
- Season the chuck roast generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet and sear the roast for 2–3 minutes per side until browned.
- Place the sliced onion in the bottom of a slow cooker and set the roast on top.
- Spread the cream of mushroom soup over the roast. Sprinkle with the onion soup mix and pour the beef broth around the sides.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 8–9 hours, or until the beef is very tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- Let the roast rest for about 10 minutes before slicing or shredding.
- Spoon the flavorful juices and gravy over the beef and serve with mashed potatoes, carrots, or your favorite vegetables.
