The Easiest Slow Cooker Chuck Roast That Actually Tastes Amazing

Hi lovelies! ❤️

This week I was craving real comfort food but didn’t feel like standing in the kitchen for hours. While scrolling Reddit I found this super simple Slow Cooker Chuck Roast recipe and decided to give it a try on a rainy Tuesday. I’m so glad I did it made the house smell incredible all day and turned out ridiculously tender.

I love recipes like this because you just throw everything in and let the magic happen. My only “adventure” was that I got a bit distracted and added the rosemary a little late, but it still worked out great.

I seared the chuck roast first (highly recommend doing this step it gives way better flavor). The onions, carrots, and baby potatoes soaked up all those delicious juices. The soy sauce and tomato paste combo created this rich, savory gravy that I ended up spooning over everything.

We ate it with some crusty bread to soak up the sauce. My husband went back for thirds and even the picky eater in the family loved it. Total winner for busy days or when you want leftovers that taste even better the next day.

Directions

• Heat olive oil in a pan and sear the chuck roast on all sides until nicely browned.

• Season the roast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then place on top of the vegetables.
