Crockpot Roast Beef

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time8 hours

Ingredients

  • 1 - 4 to 5 pound chuck roast a tri-tip roast is also really good
  • 2 cans low-sodium cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 envelope dry onion soup mix
  • potatoes
  • baby carrots
  • onion
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • If you wish to sear the roast before placing it in the slow cooker, season with salt and pepper and cook in a hot skillet a couple minutes on each side, then place in the crockpot. I actually like to sear mine with a little bit of butter in the pan, but that's a personal preference. If you don't wish to sear the meat (you don't have to!), just place it straight into the crockpot.
  • Arrange the potatoes, carrots, and onions in the crockpot too. Cut the potatoes into chunks unless you're using very small potatoes.
  • Mix the canned soup with the onion soup mix. Pour over the meat and veggies.
  • Cover your slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours.

Notes

For the potatoes, carrots, and onions, I don't really measure it, I just use an amount that I think will feed my family.
