Slow Cooker Pot Roast With French Onion Soup Recipes

FRENCH ONION POT ROAST (SLOW COOKER RECIPE)

Steps:

• Add carrots, celery and onions to the bottom of the slow cooker.
• Mix flour, salt and pepper together in a small bowl.
• (Optional) Trim any fat on the sides off of the roast and rinse with water.
• Pat the beef dry with paper towels. Using your fingers, add flour mixture to cover the roast. (My roast this time was taller than I usually get it and it was tied for me. You can tie yours with kitchen twine if you want.)
• Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a large dutch oven on medium to medium high heat for to 4 minutes. Add roast to heated pan and heat to sear for 2 to 4 minutes on each side. (Add more oil if needed and lower heat if necessary.) Use tongs to flip the roast and to hold the roast on its ends and sear for one minute.
• Add the seared beef roast on top of the vegetables. Add french onion soup to the slow cooker. (If using condensed soup, add 1 cup of water to the slow cooker.)
• Cook roast in slow cooker on low for 8 to 9 hours or high for 5 hours.
• Serve with vegetables from the slow cooker and mashed potatoes or noodles.

SLOW COOKER FRENCH ONION SOUP

Steps:

• Heat butter in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat; cook and stir onions until they become translucent, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle onions with sugar; reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring constantly, until onions are soft and browned, at least 30 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir sherry into onion mixture and scrape bottom of pot to dissolve small bits of browned food from the pot. Transfer onions into a slow cooker and pour in beef broth. Season to taste with sea salt; stir in thyme and bay leaf. Cover cooker, set on High, and cook 4 to 6 hours. If desired, set on Low and cook 8 to 10 hours.
• About 10 minutes before serving, set oven rack about 8 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet.
• Broil bread slices until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Combine Gruyere, Emmental, Parmesan, and mozzarella cheeses in a bowl, tossing lightly. Fill oven-safe soup crocks 3/4 full of onion soup and float a bread slice in each bowl. Top with about 2 tablespoons of cheese mixture per serving.
• Place filled bowls onto a baking sheet and broil until cheese topping is lightly browned and bubbling, about 2 minutes.

SLOW COOKER POT ROAST WITH FRENCH ONION SOUP

Steps:

• Cut the roast into 4 to 6 large chunks and place them in the slow cooker . Add the French onion soup and mushrooms. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or until very tender. Or cook on high for 4 to 5 hours.
• If desired, make a flavorful gravy with the juices. Remove the beef and mushrooms to a platter or bowl with a slotted spoon; keep warm. Transfer juices to a saucepan. Skim excess fat, if desired. Simmer the juices for 5 minutes to reduce slightly and concentrate the flavors.
• Mix 2 tablespoons of flour with cold water to make a smooth mixture; stir into the juices. Continue cooking until the sauce is thickened and bubbly. Taste and add salt and pepper, as needed.
• Serve the gravy with the beef (cubed or shredded) and mushrooms.
• Serve it with potatoes and vegetables or on toasted sandwich buns with coleslaw and fries or chips.

FRENCH POT ROAST IN SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• 1. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Brown the meat on all sides in the hot oil a deep skillet (or in the Cuisinart 3-in-1 4-Quart Cooker-I set mine at 375° when browning). Transfer the meat to a plate.
• 2. Reduce the heat to medium. If the pan is dry, add another tablespoon of oil. Add the onion and carrot; cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes; add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds more. Add the wine, beef broth, Balsamic vinegar, and herbes de Provence. Bring to a boil, stirring to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. (If doing this step on the stovetop, pour the liquid into the cooker at this point.).
• 3. Place the browned meat in the cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours OR on high for 5 hours or until the meat is tender.
• 4. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and cover with foil to keep warm. Set the cooker on 375° (or transfer the cooking liquids to a clean saucepan). Work the butter into the flour to form a paste (a beurre manié). Bring the liquid to boil; whisk in the beurre manié bit by bit until sauce is as thick as you like. Serve sauce with meat.
