Ingredients
3 pounds beef chuck roast
1 packet (1 ounce) ranch dressing mix
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces

1 cup beef broth
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
Rub the seasoning mixture all over the beef chuck roast evenly.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
Place the carrots, potatoes, onion wedges, and minced garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Set the seared roast on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker.
Pour the beef broth over the roast and vegetables.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Remove the roast from the slow cooker and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the sliced pot roast with the cooked vegetables and spoon some of the cooking liquid over the top.
