Ingredients for Crock Pot Chuck Roast with Potatoes

All you need for this recipe is a handful of ingredients and about 15 minutes to get it into the slow cooker. After that the slow cooker will do all of the work for you! You will need:

2-3 pound chuck roast
Russet potatoes
Carrots- whole carrots or baby carrots
Onion soup mix
Salt and pepper

Other vegetables can be used in this recipe as well. See the FAQ’s below for some suggestions. Also, I do not use any beef broth in this recipe. The beef and vegetables create their own liquid when cooking.

How to Make Crock Pot Chuck Roast with Potatoes

This recipe is super simple to make! First, wash your carrots and potatoes. Then, peel and chop the carrots into large chunks. Chop the potatoes into large chunks as well but leave the skin on.

Place half of the potatoes and carrots into the bottom of the crock pot. Sprinkle on 1/3 of the packet of onion soup mix and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Then, place the chuck roast on top and sprinkle with 1/3 of the onion soup packet and salt and pepper. Top with remaining potatoes and carrot and season again.

Cover with lid and cook on low for 8 hours. Once it is done, use two forks to pull apart the beef to make it easier to serve. The meat should already be falling apart which makes it easy to pull apart more.
