Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 lb. beef chuck roast
- 1.5 oz. Crockpot Brand Savory Pot Roast Seasoning
- 1 ½ tsp. Italian seasoning blend
- 3 carrots, sliced
- 1 diced white onion
- 15 oz. can Italian seasoned diced tomatoes
- ½ cup water
Vegetables to Add Later
- 1 lb. green beans, ends snipped and cut in half
- 15 oz. can corn
- Salt to taste
For Serving
- Mashed potatoes
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Begin by placing the 4 lb. beef chuck roast into the slow cooker base.
- Add Seasonings and Vegetables: Sprinkle the Savory Pot Roast Seasoning and Italian seasoning blend evenly over the roast. Add the sliced carrots, diced white onion, canned Italian seasoned diced tomatoes, and ½ cup water to the slow cooker.
- Cook on Low: Secure the lid on the slow cooker and cook everything on LOW for 9 hours. This slow cooking process allows the beef to become very tender and easily shreddable.
- Add Green Beans and Corn: After 9 hours, add the prepared green beans and canned corn to the slow cooker. Replace the lid and cook for an additional 1 hour on LOW to let the green beans soften.
- Shred the Beef: Remove the roast onto a plate or shred it directly in the slow cooker using two forks. Discard any fatty pieces you find to keep the dish moist but not greasy.
- Combine and Serve: Gently stir the shredded beef back into the sauce and vegetables in the slow cooker. Season with salt to taste if needed. Serve hot over creamy mashed potatoes for a complete, comforting dinner.
Notes
- The total cooking time is approximately 10 hours, so plan accordingly.
- Adding green beans and corn later ensures they retain their texture and do not overcook.
- For an even richer flavor, you can sauté the onions and carrots before adding to the slow cooker, but this is optional.
- Use fresh green beans and drain excess liquid from the canned corn before adding.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
