Crock Pot Chuck Roast

suncow's Note:

This recipe makes a rich creamy gravy and is so easy...It originally called for cream of mushroom but I didn't have any so substituted cream of chicken and it makes it so much richer. All my kids love it, which is a miracle in itself.

• Total Time: 8 hrs 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 8 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 3 -4 lbs chuck roast
• 1 (1 ounce) package Lipton Onion Soup Mix

• pepper
• garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 cup cold water

Directions:

1. Season roast with salt, pepper and garlic powder to your liking.
2. Place in crock pot.
3. In a bowl mix together the onion soup mix, cream of chicken soup and 2 soup cans of water.
4. Pour mixture over roast.
5. If the liquid does not cover roast, add a little more water (but just enough to cover roast).
6. Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
7. Before you are ready to eat Ladle gravy mixture into sauce pan.

Absolutely LOVED this recipe. Didn't have any onion soup mix so I added some celery seed, rosemary, & thyme. Mixed them in the soup. Only added 1 cup of water & added 1tsp beef bullion to that. Thought two cups of water would be to much. The meat came out very, very tender after 5 hours for a 3 1/2 pound roast. This will be my go to recipe from now on for a chuck roast. The gravy was FANTASTIC.
