04 - 1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
05 - 1 large yellow onion, cut into 8 wedges

→ Savory Simmering Sauce

06 - 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
07 - 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed French onion soup
08 - 1 (1 oz) packet dry onion soup mix
09 - 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
10 - 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

→ Aromatic Enhancers

11 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
12 - 1 tsp dried thyme
13 - 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
14 - 2 bay leaves
15 - Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Season the 3 1/2 lbs boneless beef chuck roast generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place it in the bottom of a 6-quart or larger crockpot, ready for your 5-Star Crockpot Pot Roast - Easy & Delicious. Add the 2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, 1 lb carrots, and 1 large yellow onion around the roast.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed French onion soup, 1 (1 oz) packet dry onion soup mix, 1 cup low-sodium beef broth, and 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce. This forms the base for your delicious 5-Star Crockpot Pot Roast - Easy & Delicious.
03 - Stir the 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp dried thyme, and 1/2 tsp dried rosemary into the sauce mixture. Pour this savory sauce evenly over the beef and vegetables in the crockpot. Add the 2 bay leaves on top.
04 - Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 7 hours (420 minutes), or until the beef is fork-tender and the vegetables are soft. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain consistent temperature for this 5-Star Crockpot Pot Roast - Easy & Delicious.
05 - Carefully remove the bay leaves. Using two forks, gently shred the beef chuck roast directly in the crockpot, allowing it to absorb more of the flavorful juices. Stir the shredded beef and vegetables together.
06 - Ladle generous portions of the 5-Star Crockpot Pot Roast - Easy & Delicious onto plates. Garnish with fresh parsley, chopped, for a vibrant finish. Serve hot and enjoy this comforting meal.

# Notes:

01 - For an even richer flavor, quickly sear the seasoned chuck roast in a hot pan with a tablespoon of oil before adding it to the crockpot. This creates a delicious crust.
02 - Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It often tastes even better the next day!
03 - Feel free to substitute sweet potatoes for Yukon golds, or add other root vegetables like parsnips or celery root for variety.
04 - This pot roast is a complete meal on its own, but a side of crusty bread for dipping in the savory gravy is always a welcome addition.
