Notes

To make without packets, use 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 tablespoon dried minced onions in place of the packets, and add 1/4 cup ranch dressing at the end of cooking. Keep the butter.
All slow cookers are different, so cook times may vary from 4 to 5 hours on high to 8 to 10 hours on low. Roast is done when it is fork tender and shreds easily with forks.
You can use au jus mix or beef gravy mix instead of onion soup mix.
