Directions:How To Make The Perfect Slow Cooker Pot Roast
Place your onions, carrots, potatoes, and celery in the bottom of the crock pot.
Top your veggies with Lipton Onion soup mix.
Next, add a cup of water and a cup of beef broth to your crock pot or a some red wine - 1-2 cups.
Next, place roast in the center of your vegetables.
If your liquid doesn't cover your roast and veggies, add a little bit more liquid til your roast is covered.
Place your lid on your Crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
You'll know you’re ready to roll when you have a tender roast that's thoroughly cooked through and shreds easily with a fork.
I like to serve my pot roast over mashed potatoes but it is delicious with potatoes and carrots.

Notes: If you want a more flavorful roast, you can add more seasoning or change your liquids. If you choose to add more seasoning, I recommend ranch seasoning. It's my go-to for any recipe that needs a little more flavor. If you opt for changing your liquids, the sky is the limit. I know people who add red wine, beer, or chicken broth to their pot roast because they think it makes the best pot roast. You could also add a little worcestershire sauce or soy sauce to give it more flavor.
Can I add more veggies to this?
Sure. If you're going to add more vegetables, I recommend sticking to root vegetables as they'll hold up well in this recipe.
If you want you can use a packet of liptononion soup mix to season your roast before slow cooking it, but it's not necessary. Since this has a long cook time, the meat will absorb the juices and flavors it is being cooked with.
I usually sear my roast before placing it in the crockpot but it isn’t necessary. The French Onion Seasoning will permeate the roast.
How do I store this pot roast?
Store the pot roast in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. I think this is just as good if not better when eaten the next day. It's one of those delicious meals that works well as leftovers!
What To Serve With Pot Roast
I think this recipe is best served with mashed potatoes, but there are so many other things you could serve it with. You could serve it with green beans, rice, quinoa, corn on the cob, a big salad, biscuits, or any combination of the above.
