Simple Crock Pot Roast
Author: Crabby Housewife
Ingredients
  • Chuck roast this usually is a flavorful and tender cut. Top and front cuts tend to turn out better than say a rump roast (1)
  • Packet of onion soup mix
  • Water
Instructions
  1. Place the roast in your crock pot. Honestly, I will sometimes throw it in frozen if I've forgotten to unthaw the night before, but it does make the meat a little tougher. It is better to unthaw first to get a truly tender pot roast.
  2. Empty the packet of onion soup mix on top. Watch what you get, because some are high in carbs.
  3. Pour about 1/4 cup of water over top to help the soup get distributed. The pot roast will also release juices as it cooks, so the mix will mesh with that and create a nice marinade for your roast.
  4. Cook on low for 6-8 hours
