Key Ingredients<\/span><\/h2>\n

All of the classic pot roast and veggie ingredients you know and love, but with a french onion twist! Check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for the full ingredient list.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Roast:<\/strong> We typically use a sirloin tip roast for this easy recipe, but any boneless roast will do. You don\u2019t need to buy an expensive cut of meat. Slow roasting all day will make the roast nice and tender.<\/li>\n
  • Yellow Onion:<\/strong> While you can use a white onion in a pinch, a yellow onion has a natural sweetness that perfectly balances the savory flavors.<\/li>\n
  • Potatoes:<\/strong> Red potatoes hold their shape when cooked low and slow, but you can use any diced or baby potatoes you have on hand.<\/li>\n
  • Carrots:<\/strong> You can use frozen sliced carrots instead of fresh to save a little time.<\/li>\n
  • French Onion Soup Cans: <\/strong>Any brand works well, so just use your favorite.<\/li>\n
  • Lipton Onion Soup Mix:<\/strong> This adds SO much flavor to the entire dish. Try not to swap it with anything else. You add the dry mix to the gravy, don\u2019t mix it according to the package!<\/li>\n
  • Cornstarch:<\/strong> This is used as a thickening agent for the sauce. Use more or less to control how thick you want it to be.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
