Servings: 6 People
Calories: 690kcal
Ingredients
- 4-5 pound Chuck roast Trimmed of excess fat
- 1 packet Dry onion soup mix
- Salt To taste
- Pepper To taste
- 1.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1.5 tablespoon Garlic Finely minced
- ½ cup Onion Finely chopped
- 2 cans Cream of mushroom soup Low sodium
- 3-4 Carrots Medium size, Cut into circles, Optional
- 2-3 Potatoes Large, Cut into 2 inch cubes, Optional
Instructions
- Place the roast in a slow cooker.
- Sprinkle dry onion soup mix, salt, pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic.
- Add onions.
- Pour cream of mushroom soup and mix everything until roast is fully coated.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- Add the carrots and potatoes (if you are using them) at 4 hours to prevent them from becoming too soft and "mushy." You can add them in the beginning too when you added everything else but I am not fond of the "soft and mushy" vegetable texture.
- Use 2 forks to shred the beef and enjoy!
Notes
- Read all my tips above.
- Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- If you are short on time, this can be cooked on high for 4-5 hours but it's not as tender as when you cook it on low for 8-10 hours.
