Steps:
- You can build the complexity of this dish's flavor by tossing your veggies in to caramelize before adding them to the crock pot. Onions and carrots are delicious this way. Potatoes, not so much. :)
- Place any veggies you want to include (onions, carrots, potatoes, etc) into the crock pot, then add the roast.
- Pour one cup of broth/water around the roast. Sprinkle seasoning over the top and cover.*
- Set slow cooker/crockpot to high and cook for 5-6 hours, or low and cook for 8-10 hours, or until meat is tender. Add spices if you haven't already.
- When the roast is ready, make gravy using one of these two methods - I use arrowroot powder instead of cornstarch. Add salt if desired.

Whisk together beef gravy mix, ranch dressing mix, and Italian dressing mix in a bowl, and whisk the mixes with water until smooth. Pour over the chuck roast. Distribute carrots around the meat.

Steps:
- Place frozen roast beef in crock pot.
- Empty two cans of cream of mushroom soup, mushrooms and onion soup mix on top and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Coarsely chop onion and place on top and around roast.
- Cover with lid and place on low for 8-9 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right roast: Look for a roast that is labeled "chuck roast" or "pot roast." These cuts are well-suited for slow cooking and will become tender and flavorful in the crock pot.
- Sear the roast before cooking: Searing the roast helps to brown the meat and develop flavor. To sear the roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the roast and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until browned.
- Add liquid to the crock pot: The liquid will help to keep the roast moist and prevent it from drying out. You can use water, broth, or even a combination of both. If you are using broth, be sure to choose a low-sodium option.
- Season the roast: Season the roast with your favorite spices and herbs. Some popular options include garlic, onion, rosemary, and thyme. You can also add a packet of dry onion soup mix for extra flavor.
- Cook the roast on low for 8-10 hours: The low temperature will help to tenderize the roast and allow the flavors to develop. If you are short on time, you can cook the roast on high for 4-6 hours, but the meat may not be as tender.
- Let the roast rest before serving: Once the roast is cooked, remove it from the crock pot and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Cooking a frozen roast in a crock pot is a great way to have a delicious and home-cooked meal with minimal effort. By following these tips, you can ensure that your roast turns out tender, flavorful, and juicy. So next time you're looking for an easy and convenient meal, give this recipe a try!
