  7. Set electric skillet to 325 degrees and cook until roast is tender, or set slow cooker to medium and cook until roast is tender.
  8. During cooking add water if necessary.
  9. When roast is tender, remove meat and veggies from pan while leaving half the onions in the pan with juices and drippings.

Notes:

  1. This pot roast recipe can be made in a pressure cooker.  Follow the direction the same as the electric skillet except pressure cook for 50 minutes with natural release.
  2. Fred puts an extra layer of sliced onions under the roast to add extra moisture.
  3. Hamburger patties ( frozen ) can be substituted for the chuck roast to cut costs or expedite the meal.  Simply reduce pressure cooker time to 30 minutes.
