🍖 3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Roast
Ingredients
-
2–3 lb beef roast (chuck or rump works well)
-
1 cup beef broth (or water with a bouillon cube)
-
1 packet onion soup mix (or 1–2 tablespoons finely chopped onions + seasoning)
Optional: add carrots, potatoes, or garlic for extra flavor.
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the roast
-
Pat the beef dry and season lightly with salt and pepper (optional).
2️⃣ Add to slow cooker
-
Place the roast in the crockpot.
-
Pour the beef broth over the roast.
-
Sprinkle the onion soup mix (or onions + seasoning) on top.
3️⃣ Cook slowly
-
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours until meat is tender and pulls apart easily.
4️⃣ Serve
-
Slice or shred the roast and pour some of the cooking juices over it.
-
Pair with your favorite vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
✅ Tip: For extra richness, sear the roast in a hot pan for 2–3 minutes per side before adding it to the slow cooker — this locks in flavor.
