Notes

  • To make in the slow cooker: Add the butter and onions to a large skillet on the stove over medium high heat. Cook for 4-5 minutes. Rub the beef chuck roast with the french onion dip mix, add to the skillet and sear for 1-2 minutes per side. Add the beef and onions to a slow cooker. Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce in the slow cooker. Set to low for 10 hours, or to high for 6 hours.
  • For leftovers: Be sure to store the beef and any liquid from the pot roast for leftovers. You can use the beef to make French Dip Sandwiches or a grilled cheese and serve the liquid au jus on the side for dipping.
