The Best Ever Slow Cooker Pot Roast
This slow cooker pot roast only takes six ingredients to make thanks to a packet of onion soup mix. It gives the roast a ton of flavor without a ton of work, and no one will even know it’s there. The best part? You just dump everything into the slow cooker, walk away for a few hours, and dinner practically cooks itself. Serve it over egg noodles or rice and dinner is good to go.

I used two packets of the dried onion soup, I also used two big table spoons of garlic which was rubbed all over the meat after I seasoned the meat with salt, pepper, and a little bit of lemon pepper. I also used a little bit of dried celery. I used whole small yellow baby potatoes and 2 cups of water to keep it all moist. Plenty of flavor. Not too much.

This version is dry I suggest adding flour to the roast then grease a pan and fry it till brown on all sides. Then add to water let it broil for an hr. Then add onion soup mix, beef broth, salt and pepper. Add carrots and potatoes, and chopped onion toward the end. This way it makes it own gravy.

I made this but I added celery and I browned it on the stove first then I slow cooked it. I also added 2 packs of Lipton’s onion soup, 2 cups of vegetable broth and garlic powder for more flavor. Turned out great my family loved it ❤️
