Roast with Onion Soup Mix in Crockpot

Roast with onion soup mix in Crockpot is fantastic. Want to make your beef tender and shredded with just forks? You can use a fresh, defrosted or frozen roast in a Crockpot this way. Here are simple instructions to make it this week.

Slow Cooker Roast

If you want to cook a really hearty meal that doesn’t cost a lot, but reminds you of your childhood this is it!! With tons of flavor you can now cook a beef or Slow Cooker Pork Roast Onion Soup Mix all day on it’s own while you’re at work. Then dinner is ready!

Crock-Pot Roast

Just throw in the beef chuck roast with vegetables, liquid, dry onion soup mix dissolved, cover and cook! Cooking time is about all day and it just gets more tender if you have to leave it in an extra hour or more. It can’t be much easier than that right?

Let’s talk a little bit about slow cooking shall we?? First off I have a few different varieties and I love them all. Each one has an occasion to be used like….

1. This is my favorite 6 quart programmable one with a locking lid so it’s great for bringing to a potluck too.
2. I prefer not to use liners, but rather just spray olive oil inside before adding my food for easier cleanups.

Let me give you a peek of my pretty thang I bought recently. It goes with my kitchen so I can just leave it out on the countertop all the time. 😉

Slow Cooker Pot Roast Ingredients

This is what it is sometimes called. You can make our copycat onion soup mix recipe first if you don’t want to use the store bought packets.

• Use a Crock pot large enough for the lid to close securely with meat inside
• Dry Lipton onion soup mix
• Roast and vegetables
  • Beef chuck roast is a great cut
  • Baby carrots are yummy
  • An onion is a must
• Cups of water, beer or beef broth

Can I cook a roast with beer?

Yes!! That is what we used here to add even more flavor. Like we do with our corned beef or our Slow Cooker Mississippi pot roast the liquid is up to you. If you want to omit the beer you can just substitute it with more broth instead. The alcohol will be cooked off and the only reason it’s great is because it adds another layer of bold flavors.

If you’re in a rush but want a hearty comfort food meal at the end of the evening this is a great choice. Serve it with slow cooker mashed potatoes and you’re set!

What cut of meat is best for Sunday roast?

Chuck roast is probably the best if you ask me, and pretty cheap too. If you want a bit leaner cut, but willing to spend more you could use a sirloin, top rump or fillet. For a faster cook time, follow our Instant Pot rump roast with gravy recipe.

I do suggest using the combination of broth and beer for the most flavor possible. Those and the dry soup mix create the most amazing pot roast recipe.

Here is a quick step by step but there is a detailed printable recipe card at the bottom of this post as well to refer to. You can save it in your recipe book or just come back time and time again. 😉

How Long to Cook a Roast in Crockpot on High

This is NOT recommended! If you want your thick piece of meat to get as tender as humanly possible keep it on low. Remember the idea of slow cookers, LOW and slow y’all. Typically it is a bit more than half the time if you must, but not worth it.

Why is Crockpot roast tough?

If you find that your meat is not fork tender and falling apart when you take it out, then it hasn’t cooked long enough. For large cuts of beef you need time for it to really break and get soft. If you cook it too too long though it might get tough too so follow recommended cook times listed here.
