Best Danged Slow Cooker Pot Roast
An exceptionally tender and flavorful slow-cooked pot roast seasoned with onion soup mix, brown gravy, and a touch of applesauce. Slow-cooked to perfection alongside hearty carrots, celery, and potatoes. Chef's tips: (1) Searing the roast beforehand is highly recommended as it locks in the juices and creates a rich, flavorful crust. (2) Adding the celery leaves along with the stalks provides a deeper aroma and flavor to the gravy. (3) Warming the gravy mixture in the hot searing pan helps dissolve the soup and gravy mixes more effectively. (4) Adjust the amount of carrots and potatoes based on personal preference.
