French Onion Pot Roast is the ultimate cozy comfort dish, blending slow-cooked beef, caramelized onions, and bubbling melted cheese into one irresistible skillet. Perfect for a hearty family dinner or special gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds chuck roast
  • 4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups Gruyère or mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • French bread or baguette, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Season roast with salt and pepper.
  2. In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil and sear the roast on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add more oil if needed and caramelize onions over medium heat for 20–25 minutes until golden. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute.
  4. Deglaze with a splash of broth, then add remaining broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and return roast to the pot.
  5. Cover and cook in the oven for 3–3.5 hours until beef is fork-tender.
  6. Top with shredded cheese and broil for 2–3 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  7. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated cheese for best melt and flavor.
  • Don’t rush caramelizing the onions — it’s key to the rich flavor.
  • Store leftovers for up to 3 days or freeze for 2 months.
