Slow-Cooked Pot Roast with Gravy Over Creamy Mashed Potatoes 😍🍽️
This melt-in-your-mouth comfort meal will make your home smell incredible! ❤️
There’s just something magical about a slow-cooked pot roast — fork-tender beef, hearty vegetables, and rich homemade gravy poured generously over buttery mashed potatoes. It’s the kind of meal that brings everyone to the table (and back for seconds!).
🥩 What You’ll Need:
3–4 lb chuck roast (or beef roast of choice)
1 packet dry onion soup mix
1 can cream of mushroom soup (or beef broth for a lighter version)
1 cup beef broth
1 onion, sliced
4–5 carrots, peeled and chopped
3–4 potatoes (optional for cooking with the roast)
Salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional for flavor boost)
🍳 How to Make It:
- Season your roast generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- In a skillet, sear the roast on all sides for a few minutes until nicely browned — this locks in flavor.
- Place the roast in your slow cooker. Add onions, carrots, and any other veggies you love.
- In a bowl, whisk together the onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, and beef broth. Pour over the roast.
- Cook on LOW for 8–9 hours (or HIGH for 4–5 hours) until the beef is so tender it falls apart with a fork.
- Remove the roast and veggies. Pour the cooking juices into a saucepan, bring to a simmer, and thicken with a little cornstarch slurry for the perfect gravy.
🥔 Creamy Mashed Potatoes:
Boil peeled potatoes until tender, drain, and mash with butter, warm milk, salt, and a hint of garlic for flavor.
Spoon a generous serving of potatoes on your plate, top with shredded pot roast, and drizzle that rich gravy all over! 🤤
