Marie's Easy Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Mom cooked this same recipe, but in the oven, and then taught me. I forgot to get roast out night before and had to get it in oven before I left for work. Took frozen roast and threw in roasting pan, dumped onion soup mix on top, poured half full of burgandy wine and water, put on lid. Turned oven to 300F. Got home 10 hrs later and it was PERFECT. I love this recipe - in the oven or the crockpot - comes out great!

That should be a rib of celery not the whole stalk.

Ingredients 4 pounds chuck roast salt and pepper to taste 1 packet dry onion soup mix 1 cup water 3 carrots, chopped 1 onion, chopped 3 potatoes, peeled and cubed 1 stalk celery, chopped Cooking Instructions Take the chuck roast and season with salt and pepper to taste. Brown on all sides in a large skillet over high heat. Place in the slow cooker and add the soup mix, water, carrots, onion, potatoes and celery. Cover and cook on low setting for 8 to 10 hours.

I make mine this exact same way, except I add a can of Golden Mushroom soup (not cream of mushroom). This makes a wonderful gravy.

Followed recipe except omitted the onion as I thought the onion soup would add enough flavor. Very easy and tasty. A treat to come home to -- plus we had leftovers for the next day.
