French Onion Pot Roast in Slow Cooker

This slow cooker French Onion Pot Roast is made with chuck roast, caramelized onions, and French onion soup mix. It cooks low and slow in a rich delicious gravy until the beef is perfectly fork-tender.

This recipe is so easy to make and the savory, shreddy beef is great in:

• hot sandwiches with a side of gravy for dipping
• burritos and quesadillas
• served over mashed potatoes

This chuck roast makes great leftovers that are super versatile. Just like my Slow Cooker Rump Roast recipe!

Ingredients

• Chuck roast
• French onion soup mix
• Au Jus packet
• Beef broth
• Yellow onions

How To Make It

• Pat chuck roast dry and season both sides. Sear the roast on both sides until golden brown then place in the Slow Cooker.

• Caramelize onions in the same pan over medium low heat.

• While onions are cooking, whisk together beef broth, worcestershire sauce, au jus, and onion soup mix.

• Place caramelized onions over the chuck roast and pour the broth mixture over.

• Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until fall apart tender.

• Serve as a hot sandwich or piled high over mashed potatoes and enjoy!

How to Store French Onion Pot Roast

Refrigerator:
Let the pot roast cool completely, then store it in an airtight container with the gravy. Refrigerate for up to 4 days. Keeping the meat submerged in the gravy helps it stay moist and flavorful.

Freezer:
This pot roast freezes very well. Transfer cooled meat and gravy to a freezer-safe container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Reheating:
Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave until warmed through. Add a splash of beef broth if needed to loosen the gravy.
