Description

Crockpot cranberry pot roast is a cozy twist on classic comfort food — tender, fall-apart beef slow-cooked in a rich, savory-sweet cranberry gravy.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3.5 lb boneless chuck roast
  • 1 oz envelope brown gravy mix
  • 1 oz envelope dry onion soup mix
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 3 ribs celery (sliced)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 14 oz can whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 4 tablespoons butter (sliced)

Instructions

  1. Heat a little oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast for about 4–6 minutes per side until nicely browned. Transfer the roast to your crockpot.
  2. Sprinkle over the brown gravy mix, dry onion soup mix, onion, celery, garlic, and dried thyme.
  3. Spoon the cranberry sauce on top, then tuck the slices of butter over everything.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 8–10 hours until the meat is fall-apart tender.
  5. Serve with a generous spoonful of cranberry gravy from the crockpot, and top with fresh cranberries and herbs if desired.
