Can I add other vegetables to the dish?

Yes, carrots or celery can be added alongside potatoes to increase vegetable variety and flavor complexity.

Is searing the beef before cooking necessary?

Searing is optional but recommended to enhance flavor and create a richer crust before slow cooking.

The beef is done when it is fork-tender and easily shredded; cooking low and slow for 8 hours usually achieves this.

A slow cooker with a minimum 6-quart capacity is ideal to accommodate the roast and vegetables comfortably.

The dish is gluten-free if the dry onion soup mix is certified gluten-free. Always verify labels to avoid gluten contamination.

This is my go-to slow cooker pot roast recipe when I want a hearty meal without spending hours in the kitchen.

Step 1:: Place the baby potatoes evenly on the bottom of the slow cooker.
Step 2:: Set the beef chuck roast on top of the potatoes.
Step 3:: Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the roast.
Step 4:: Pour the beef broth around the sides of the roast, being careful not to wash off the seasoning.
Step 5:: Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
Step 6:: Transfer the roast and potatoes to a serving platter. Slice or shred the beef and serve with the potatoes and juices from the slow cooker.

This pot roast has brought my family together many times over comforting dinners and happy memories.

Leftovers make excellent sandwiches or can be served over rice.
