Slow Cooker Smothered Roast

5/1/20

Beef roast seared with seasonings, fresh herbs, onions and garlic. Then slow cooked until it’s fork tender!

Fall off the bone tender smothered beef roast served over a bed of creamy herb mashed potatoes

Hey cousins! So many of you have been asking for slow cooker recipes, so I’ll continue pumping them out. In this post I’m going to show you how I make my slow cooker smothered beef roast.

This smothered beef roast is fall-apart tender and seasoned to perfection

This recipe is quite easy. I use a package of onion mushroom soup mix, however regular onion soup mix is okay as well!

Tender beef roast smothered in a hearty gravy and served with herb mashed potatoes

At the end of this recipe I add heavy cream to make the gravy nice and creamy. If you’re not a fan of adding cream to your gravy, that step can be omitted.

Be sure to share this recipe on Facebook & Pinterest with your friends! XOXO

    Why wouldn’t you use beef broth? Chicken broth with a chuck roast is counterintuitive.

      Because I like chicken broth. If you like beef broth, you can use it hun.

    Just cooked this recipe, and my God, so so good! Thank you so so much for posting Rosie!!

    For those viewing this post, this recipe is full of flavor, I pre seasoned my roast (garlic salt & pepper) the night before and used rosemary- thyme seasoning, to season the roast since that’s what I had. Everything else I did the same!

    Thank you, thank you again Rosie! This will be my roast staple moving forward!!

    Thank you for your recipes. I have already cooked three of your recipes and my family enjoyed them and thought they where very delicious that they ate everything up lol. I had lost my love for cooking because I felt my season was not good enough but when I ran across your recipes my love for cooking was restored. I thank God for giving you such a gift to even help young women like me that wasn’t taught at a young age to learn how to cook but now I can thanks to you. I am saving these recipes so when I get married my husband want be disappointed lol. Thank you and much blessings

    Gurllll. Let me tell you….I came across your website when I was searching for a baked turkey wings recipe. I usually brown stew my turkey wings like oxtails(I’m Caribbean) I have them cut into little pieces. But was on the hunt to bake the entire wings and wanted to change it up. Continued surveying your page and came across this recipe Chile!! You made me dig under my kitchen counter to pull out the crockpot my husband and I had since undergrad. I never even knew about onion soup mix and I found that with teleworking I was able to set this up and leave it all day on the counter to let it do its thing. I am in love with this recipe and ALL that you have posted that I came across. Please keep it coming. I don’t have social media including YouTube subscription. So this website is jus fine for me. Well done for a self-taught chef. Be safe and well. Keep us locked down/teleworking folks cooking.
