Crockpot French Onion Pot Roast

This cozy pot roast is slow-cooked with sweet onions, tender potatoes, and carrots in a rich, savory broth that’s packed with French onion flavor. The chuck roast turns fall-apart tender after hours in the slow cooker, and the whole thing is basically a hug in a bowl. Serve it over mashed potatoes or turn it into epic sandwiches—it’s a versatile dinner that makes the house smell amazing and tastes even better.
