How To Serve

I like to serve this roast over mashed potatoes with a side of green beans. It also goes well with rice or buttered noodles. Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes and Southern-Style Green Beans are perfect with this roast.

How To Make Crock Pot Roast with Creamy Mushroom Gravy

  1. Season the chuck roast and brown it in a little oil in a skillet. Add it to a 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Briefly cook the onion and mushrooms and then the garlic in the beef drippings. Add them to the slow cooker.
  3. Mix together the condensed soup, onion soup mix, water, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and pepper in a bowl and pour over the chuck roast.
  4. Cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours.
  5. If the gravy is not thick enough, mix together some cornstarch with cold water and add it to the crock pot. Cover and cook on HIGH for 15 to 20 minutes. Note: or you can transfer the gravy to a pot and do this step much faster on the stove.

Recipe Tips

To add some heat to this beef roast, add 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.

Do NOT add any water to the condensed soup. The only water you should be adding is the 1/2 cup of water listed in the ingredient section.

Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days.

    Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Transfer mixture to the slow cooker along with the carrots.

    In a bowl, mix together condensed mushroon soup, onion soup mix, water, Worcestershire sauce, thyme and pepper. Pour over roast.

  5. 5

    Cover slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours.

  6. 6

    If you want to thicken the gravy up, mix the cornstarch with an equal amount of cold water. Pour into slow cooker and mix in. Cover and cook on HIGH for 15 to 20 minutes. If you want to do this step faster, you can pour the gravy into a saucepan, add the cornstrach mixture and bring it to a boil. It will only take a few minutes, but the downside is you will have a saucepan to clean.
