For an even deeper flavor, sear the chuck roast on all sides in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker. Consider adding a few cloves of garlic and a bay leaf to the slow cooker for added aromatics. If you don't have dry onion soup mix, you can substitute with a combination of onion powder, dried onion flakes, and beef bouillon. Adjust the amount of water based on the size and shape of your slow cooker to ensure the roast is mostly submerged but not completely covered.
