Crock Pot Roast Recipe 455

Steps:

• Cut up potatoes, onions, and celery in to fairly large chunks and place in a slow cooker. Put roast on top of vegetables. Place 3 bouillon cubes randomly on top of roast and pour in water.
• Cover, and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or High for 4 to 5 hours.

Steps:

• Spray the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray. Spread the onion slices out into the bottom of the cooker.
• Spread the flour out onto a work surface. Sprinkle the chuck roast with salt and black pepper, and roll the roast in the flour to coat all sides. Using the edge of a small, sturdy plate, pound the flour into the meat. Place the floured roast into the cooker on top of the onions. Whisk together beef gravy mix, ranch dressing mix, and Italian dressing mix in a bowl, and whisk the mixes with water until smooth. Pour over the chuck roast. Distribute carrots around the meat.
• Cover the cooker, set to Low, and cook until the roast is tender and the gravy has thickened, about 8 hours.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear roast in hot oil until browned completely, about 2 minutes per side.
• Spread potatoes into the bottom of the slow cooker. Layer baby carrots atop the potatoes and green beans atop the carrots. Place the roast atop the layers of vegetables.
• Mix cream of mushroom soup, water, and dry onion soup mix together in a bowl; pour over the roast and vegetables.
• Cook on Low 8 to 10 hours.
