#### Equipment Needed

- Knife

#### Step-by-Step Instructions
1. **Prep the Roast**
- Begin by preparing your chuck roast. Using a sharp knife, score the meat in a cross-hatch pattern. This helps the flavor penetrate deeper into the meat and makes it more tender.
- Season the roast generously with salt and pepper.
2. **Combine Ingredients**
- In your slow cooker, place the seasoned beef on top of a layer of sliced onions for added flavor.
- Pour in 1 can (14 oz) of Campbell’s Savory Pot Roast & Beef Gravy Soup Base followed by 2 cups of water or beef broth.
3. **Add Vegetables**
- Distribute the cubed potatoes and sliced carrots evenly around and on top of the roast to ensure they absorb the delicious juices.
4. **Cooking Process**
- Cover your slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or high heat for 5-6 hours. Ensure even cooking by checking the pot occasionally.
5. **Check for Doneness**
- After the cooking time is up, remove the beef to a cutting board. Let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
- Return the sliced roast and vegetables back into the slow cooker with its juices. Stir gently to combine.
6. **Serve and Enjoy**
- Serve your Campbell’s Slow Cooker Savory Pot Roast hot, garnished with fresh herbs like thyme or parsley if desired.
- Pair it with steamed rice or a simple salad for a complete meal.
#### Tips and Variations
- For added flavor, you can add a few cloves of garlic to the slow cooker before cooking.
