Hey, foodies! Today we’re making the ultimate comfort food: Super Easy Pot Roast! This is the kind of meal that’s perfect for lazy Sundays, cozy nights, or anytime you’re craving something hearty and delicious. Plus,
it’s a one-pot wonder, which means less cleanup (yay!). Ready to get your roast on? Let’s do this! 😋
Ingredients:
- 1 (3-4 lb) chuck roast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 packet onion soup mix (or your favorite seasoning blend)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup water
- 4-5 potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1 large onion, cut into wedges
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
- Sear the Roast: Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper on all sides. Sear the roast in the hot oil for about 3-4 minutes per side, until it’s nice and browned. This locks in the flavor! 🔥
Add the Good Stuff: Sprinkle the onion soup mix over the roast. Add the beef broth, water, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Give it a little stir, then add the carrots, potatoes, and onions around the roast. 🍲\
Cook Low and Slow: Bring everything to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for about 3-4 hours, or until the meat is super tender and falls apart easily with a fork. The longer it cooks, the better it gets! 😍
Check & Serve: Once it’s done, taste the sauce and add more salt and pepper if needed. Serve the roast with those yummy, tender veggies and the delicious broth spooned over the top. Instant comfort food bliss! 🥰
