This smothered Slow Cooked Roast with Creamy Mushroom Gravy is comfort food personified. Seasoned to perfection a chuck roast is braised in a slow cooker until the meat is succulent and fall apart tender. I like to add fresh baby carrots and sweet pearl onions to round out the flavor palate with little fuss. After letting the roast simmer all day long supper will be ready when you are and the house smells spectacular, too.

Easy Slow Cooked Roast with Creamy Mushroom Gravy Recipe

Sunday roast was tradition in my family and one of my sweetest childhood memories. It’s comfort food and one that doesn’t have to be incredibly difficult to make. Using your slow cooker to make inexpensive cuts of meat like chuck roasts, puts the magic in the flavor and gives it the most tender texture. Slow cooking allows you to turn many cheaper cuts of meat into fall apart deliciousness. I make several variations of slow cooked roasts these days but this one tops my list due to it’s simplicity. How to make simple Slow Cooker Roast and Gravy:

Meat – Chuck roast is perfection for slow cooking. It results in a tender fall apart roast.
Seasonings – Steak seasoning, salt and black pepper and garlic. Steak seasoning blend i.e. Meat Magic or Chicago Steak or Montreal Steak Seasoning.
Sauce – One can French onion soup, one can cream of mushroom soup and Worcestershire sauce. Loads of flavor with no fuss.
Additions – One package of frozen pearl onion and baby carrots.
