Ingredients You’ll Need
(6–7 quart slow cooker)
3 lbs (1.4 kg) boneless beef chuck roast, well-marbled
1 packet (1 oz) dry onion soup mix (like Lipton)

💡 Pro Tips:
Chuck roast is essential—its fat and connective tissue melt into tenderness during slow cooking.
Don’t skip browning (optional but recommended): Sear roast 2–3 minutes per side for deeper flavor.
Add veggies halfway to prevent mushiness (after 2–3 hours).
