Tender and flavorful French Onion Pot Roast cooked to pull-apart perfection in a slow cooker, layered with onions and savory sauce.

  • Total Time: 7 hours
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lb Chuck Roast
  • 2 cups red or yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp fresh thyme, chopped (or ¼ tsp dried)
  • 2 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 12 tbsp all-purpose flour or cornstarch (for gravy)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together tomato sauce, beef broth, minced garlic, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, and white wine vinegar.
  2. Trim excess fat from chuck roast, season with salt and pepper.
  3. Layer half the onions in slow cooker, pour half the sauce on top. Place roast on onions and top with remaining onions and sauce.
  4. Cover and cook on high 4 hours or low 7 hours until roast is fork-tender.
  5. For gravy: use 1 tbsp flour or cornstarch per cup of sauce. Heat over low, stirring until thickened.
  6. Serve pot roast with gravy over mashed potatoes and garnish with parsley.

Notes

  • If sauce/broth is greasy after cooking, refrigerate to separate fat before making gravy for a grease-free broth.
