Instructions


0 Chop the onion and celery into large chunks and set them aside. No need to be precise—rustic cuts work best for pot roast.
1 Place the chuck roast directly into your slow cooker. You can sear it beforehand for extra flavor, but it’s completely optional. Season all sides generously with pot roast seasoning.
2 Pour in the low-sodium beef broth. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot sticks around the roast.
3 Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours or High for 4–5 hours, until the roast is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
4 Once done, remove the roast, shred it, and return the meat to the slow cooker to soak in the juices for a few minutes.
5 Just before serving, prepare the Idahoan Buttery Homestyle Mashed Potatoes by boiling water for 2 minutes and stirring in the potato mix according to package directions.
6 Spoon the creamy mashed potatoes onto your plate and top with a generous serving of the tender shredded pot roast.
