This easy Cracker Barrel pot roast copycat is made in the slow cooker with tender beef, carrots, and celery in a savory onion gravy. It's the perfect dump and go crockpot dinner for any night of the week.
Ingredients
- 2½ - 3 lbs stew beef or chuck roast
- 6 carrots peeled and chopped
- 4 celery stalks chopped
- 1 (14.5 oz) can low-sodium beef broth
- 2 (0.87 oz) packets low-sodium brown gravy mix divided
- 1 (1 oz) packet onion soup mix
Instructions
- Add the beef, carrots, celery, beef broth, one brown gravy packet, and the onion soup mix to your slow cooker. Stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and cooked through.
- Stir in the second brown gravy packet. Cover and allow to cook for 10-15 minutes, or until sauce is thickened.
- Serve hot over mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice.
Notes
Optional sear: For extra flavor, sear the beef with some oil in a frying pan before adding to the slow cooker.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
I recommend cooking on low for best results (most tender)
