Equipment

  • 1 slow cooker
  • 1 stainless steel pan for searing

Ingredients
  

  • 4 lb boneless chuck roast
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil for searing
  • 16 ounces baby bella mushrooms sliced
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 large yellow onion quartered
  • 4 ounces sun dried tomatoes in oil
  • 1/2 cup red wine plus a splash for deglazing the pan
  • 1/2 cup beef broth i used better than bouillion
  • 10.5 ounces Campbell's Cream of mushroom soup 1 can
  • 1 packet ranch salad dressing seasoning about 3 Tablespoons
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 4 large carrots peeled and chopped

For Wine Substitution

  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened grape juice

Instructions
 

Pat dry & sason both sides of the roast generously with salt and pepper.

    Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for about 5 minutes per side, until a deep golden crust forms.

      Transfer the roast to your slow cooker and deglaze the hot pan with a splash of wine, scraping up all the browned bits.

        Pour the wine from the pan into the slow cooker, then add mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, beef broth, ranch seasoning, bay leaf, cream of mushroom soup, and the remaining wine. Do not add the carrots yet or they will get mushy.

          Place the onions on top.

            Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.

              Add the carrots 1 hour before the roast is done so they stay tender but not mushy.

                Remove the bay leaf and serve warm over mashed potatoes or rice.
