Effortless Slow Cooker Pot Roast Recipe

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 (2 1/2 pound) boneless beef chuck roast
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 (1.2 ounce) package dry beef gravy mix
• 1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
• 1 (.7 ounce) package dry Italian-style salad dressing mix
• 0.5 cup water, or as needed
• 5 whole peeled carrots

Instructions

1. Coat the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray. Distribute the sliced onions evenly across the bottom of the cooker.
2. Pat the roast dry and generously season with salt and pepper. Spread flour on a work surface and coat the roast thoroughly, pressing the flour into the meat with your hands or a small, sturdy plate. Place the floured roast on top of the onions in the slow cooker.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the beef gravy mix, ranch dressing mix, and Italian dressing mix. Add water and whisk until well combined. Pour the mixture over the roast and distribute the carrots around the meat.
4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low until the roast is tender and the gravy has thickened, approximately 8 hours.
