4.1 from 80 reviews

This easy slow cooker Georgia pot roast combines tender beef chuck with ranch seasoning, au jus gravy, tangy pickled onions, and butter for a rich, savory roast that practically falls apart. Let it cook low and slow, then serve it with plenty of flavorful cooking juices over rice or mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

For the Pot Roast

  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 16 ounces pickled onions, including the juice
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, sliced

Instructions

  1. Season the roast.

    Place the beef chuck roast in the slow cooker. Sprinkle the au jus gravy mix and ranch seasoning evenly over the top of the meat.

  2. Add the pickled onions.

    Pour the pickled onions and all of their juice over the roast, distributing them around and over the meat.

  3. Top with butter.

    Cut the butter into slices and arrange them on top of the roast.

  4. Slow-cook until tender.

    Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, until the beef is very tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.

  5. Shred the beef.

    Turn off the slow cooker. Use two forks to roughly shred the roast in the cooking juices.

  6. Serve.

    Spoon the pot roast and some of its juices over rice or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Keep the pickled onion juice; it adds flavor and moisture to the cooking liquid.
  • Cook the roast until it pulls apart easily. Slow cookers vary, so the exact cooking time may differ.
  • Serve with rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the savory juices.
