Instructions 

  • Season the roast with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Place it in a 7-quart crockpot. Add the onions, potatoes, and carrots. Tuck them in around the roast, leaving some on top.
  • In a small bowl, whisk to combine the french onion soup, the Lipton onion soup mix, cornstarch, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over the roast and veggies. Slightly stir the soup around a bit.
  • Place the lid on the crockpot and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 5 to 7 hours. Low heat is best for extra tender results!
  • A few minutes before serving, remove the lid from the crockpot and turn the setting to warm or off. Carefully stir and let rest for 10 minutes for the gravy to thicken. Serve warm.
