Pot Roast crockpot 2 ways.

Today’s crockpot roast top round . 8/9/2026

Seared the roast in vegetable oil.  Added to crockpot along with 1 pkg. onion soup mix and 11/2 cups water.  Cook on high 3 hours.  Yummy!  Note: I removed the roast, shredded with fork and strained the juice to remove onions. You do not have to but I do so most times when using this method.

1- approximately 3 lb. Chuck roast( a bit of marbled fat is great)

Salt and pepper slightly both sides

4 T vegetable oil

In a large pot place oil on medium heat.  When heated add roast and sear on both sides.

In crockpot add 1 cup beef broth

Add seared roast 

To the roast add I package onion soup mix mixed into

1 cup hot water.  Mix well.  Add to top of roast and cook on high approximately 4 hours or more. Make sure the meat pulls apart with fork.  That is how you’ll know it’s cooked and juicy!

Enjoy!

Option:

Layer carrots on bottom as well as cut in half potatoes then add the above.
