Slow Cooker French Onion Pot Roast has all of our favorite french onion soup flavors in a hearty ware Sunday dinner. Comfort food at its finest.

Why We Love This Recipe

It’s French onion soup on a plate! One of my favorite parts of French onion soup is the cheesy crouton. And we didn’t forget about it with this recipe. The pot roast is served on top of two large toasted slices of cheesy bread. And of course, you’ll want to make extra bread because everyone loves cheese bread.
