Ingredients for Awesome Crockpot Roast With Gravy

  • Chuck Roast
  • Seasoning Salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Ground Oregano
  • Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) onion soup mix
  • Condensed Golden Mushroom Soup
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3-4 pound beef chuck roast
  • Water (as needed to adjust gravy consistency)

How to Make Awesome Crockpot Roast With Gravy

  1. Preheat your crockpot.
  2. 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.
  3. Rub the seasoning mixture generously all over a 3-4 pound beef chuck roast.
  4. Place the seasoned roast in a 4-quart crockpot.
  5. Pour 10.75 ounces (one can) of golden mushroom soup over the roast.
  6. Add 1 pound of baby carrots (optional) around the roast.
  7. Cook on low for 7-8 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender. Cooking time may vary depending on your crockpot.
  8. While the roast cooks, prepare the gravy: Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  9. Whisk in 4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, forming a roux.
  10. 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.
  11. Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste.
  12. 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!
