How to Make Awesome Crockpot Roast With Gravy
- Preheat your crockpot.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons seasoned salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon oregano, and 1 packet (1 ounce) onion soup mix.
- Rub the seasoning mixture generously all over a 3-4 pound beef chuck roast.
- Place the seasoned roast in a 4-quart crockpot.
- Pour 10.75 ounces (one can) of golden mushroom soup over the roast.
- Add 1 pound of baby carrots (optional) around the roast.
- Cook on low for 7-8 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender. Cooking time may vary depending on your crockpot.
- While the roast cooks, prepare the gravy: Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, forming a roux.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of the roast liquid from the crockpot, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to whisk until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time if needed.
- Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the roast from the crockpot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with the gravy and carrots.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
