This is my go-to recipe for pot roast on a busy weekday. It uses inexpensive cuts of meat, made posh by the slow cooker. After years of tweaking others' recipes, I think I found a good mix of high-quality pot roast while still being very quick and easy.
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby red potatoes , halved
- 1 package baby carrots , 16 ounce
- 1 yellow onion , quartered
- 1 can condensed cream of celery soup , 10 ounce
- 1 package beef stew seasoning mix , 1.5 ounce
- 1 beef chuck roast , 3 pound
- 1 envelope onion soup mix , 1 ounce
Instructions

Arrange potatoes, carrots, and onion around the edges of a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker.

2
Whisk celery soup and beef stew seasoning mix together in a bowl until smooth and creamy.

Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat; cook roast until browned and seared, about 3 minutes per side. Sprinkle onion soup mix over entire roast and place roast in the center of the slow cooker, surrounding it with the vegetable mixture. Spread celery soup mixture over roast.
-
4
Cook on Low, 8 to 10 hours.
-
5
Remove roast from the slow cooker and place on cutting board; let rest for 10 minutes.

Amazing Venison Meatloaf
This venison meatloaf with sausage is my own original recipe (I'm a hunter's wife) and an all-time family favorite! A super moist and flavorful meatloaf with a kick using venison and pork sausage. It would also probably be good as a leftover, but none of it has ever made it to the fridge, so I don't know. This is exceptional when the meatloaf is formed into patties and grilled outside instead of baked in the oven.
Ultimate Cranberry Sauce
This quick and easy cranberry sauce gets extra flavor from orange zest and fresh grated ginger.
Moist Peach Upside Down Cake
This moist cake made with Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk is filled with peaches and a sweet caramel sauce to create that classic summertime taste.
