Slow cooker roast beef with veggies has a great depth of savory, salty, earthy, and meaty flavors. But there are actually only 6 ingredients!

How to Make this Beef Chuck Roast Crock Pot Recipe

Are you ready for how effortless this slow cooker roast beef recipe is?

Follow these 4 steps to prepare a fabulous no-fail one-pot dinner:

1. First, slice the onions and season the beef chuck with the ranch seasoning. If you have the time, I recommend adding the seasoning one hour before you put the beef in the crockpot.
2. Then, place the beef roast with ranch dressing in the slow cooker. Make the beef broth if using bouillon. Pour the broth in around the chuck and add the onion slices on top. Cover and roast in the crock pot for High on 3-4 hours, or on Low for 6-8 hours.
3. Scrub and chop the potatoes and carrots. When the roast has 2 hours left to cook, add the chopped veggies and cover again.
4. Once done, transfer the crock pot chuck roast and the cooked vegetables to a large platter. Loosely cover with foil and rest for 10-15 minutes.

Then slice, serve, and enjoy this beef chuck roast!

Add the potatoes and carrots to the slow cooker pot roast during the last 2 hours of cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this crockpot pot roast without a packet of dry ranch dressing mix?

Yes, here's how you can make your own homemade ranch dressing mix: 2 Tablespoons buttermilk powder (optional), 1 Tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried parsley, 1 teaspoon dried chives, 2 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried dill.

What other cuts of meat can I use to make slow cooker roast beef?

In place of chuck roast, you can use round roast or rump roast. However, these cuts can be slightly less predictable. Choose a well-marbled piece of meat, and be prepared to chop the cooked beef if it doesn't easily shred.

How long do leftovers keep well?

Store the beef and vegetables in a sealed container, and keep them in the fridge for up to 4 days. To freeze, transfer to an airtight zipper bag or other freezer-safe containers, and store for up to 3 months.
