Roxy15 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Crockpot Roast Beef: I made this for dinner last night with mashed potatoes, gravy and corn. It Is the best roast I have ever made. I will only use a chuck roast because it always turns out so tender. I have the roast in the crockpot by 8:30 a.m. and I let it cook on low until we are ready to eat for dinner which is way later than 6 p.m. but you could eat it at 6 p.m. or whenever you are ready. I floured a chuck roast and lightly browned it in a little olive oil on both sides. I put the chuck roast in the crockpot and added some sliced white onions and garlic around the roast and some on top of the chuck roast. I covered the top of the chuck roast with Lipton Beefy Onion Soup Mix. I poured 2 cans of beef broth in and 1 can of French Onion Soup; put the lid on and let it cook until we were ready to eat later that night. To make the gravy, I melt 1/2 cup of butter in a skillet until it is melted and then I add 1/2 cup flour and whisk some more. I add 2 cups beef broth to it and some milk, kitchen bouquet, salt and pepper. I like to add baby carrots and fresh sliced mushrooms to it, but, I didn't have any. 1 Quote Link to comment
clyde40 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Thanks for sharing! I usually just add in beef broth and seasoning, but I bet the garlic and French onion soup adds some good flavor. Quote Link to comment
Roxy15 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 They do add flavor, it was the first time I ever used French Onion Soup and I am so glad I did. It turned out great and very tender. Quote Link to comment
