Description
A festive and foolproof holiday main dish made in the crockpot with sweet-tangy cranberry sauce and savory onion soup mix. Perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or cozy winter dinners.
Ingredients
1 can (14 oz) whole cranberry sauce (or homemade)
1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
4 tablespoons butter
3–4 lbs chuck roast
Optional: fresh cranberries for garnish
Instructions
Place the chuck roast into your slow cooker.
In a bowl, mix the cranberry sauce and onion soup mix. Pour the mixture over the roast.
Dot the roast with butter.
Cover and cook:
Low: 6–8 hours
High: 4 hours
(Low and slow is recommended for tender results.)
Optional: Add fresh cranberries at the start of cooking for added flavor and color.
Once cooked, transfer the roast to a serving platter. Use a slotted spoon to remove cranberries from the sauce for garnish.
Slice or shred the beef and serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
This pot roast tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld.
For a richer sauce, you can whisk in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir into the slow cooker juices before serving.
Works great with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
