To make my oh SO simple crockpot chuck roast, you will need exactly FOUR ingredients! That’s it! And they’re CHEAP ingredients, too!
No slicing, no dicing – no braising or browning either. Just a no-frills easy-peasy dump and go crockpot pot roast that’s ready when YOU are ready to eat.
These are the only 4 ingredients you’ll need:
3-4 Pound Chuck Roast✅ See It HereBeefy Mushroom Soup✅ See It HereBaby Carrots✅ See It HereBaby Potatoes✅ See It Here
Put your chuck roast at the bottom of your crockpot. Scatter the rinsed carrots and potatoes around and over the roast. Pour the can of soup over everything. Put the lid on. Turn the crockpot on… and walk away!
I cook this roast 4-6 hours on HIGH or 8-10 hours on LOW (all depending on when we plan to eat and how early I’m dumping everything in the crock that morning).
The roast turns out perfect at either temp/cook time so pick what works for you that day!
