Welcome to the kitchen and introduce the recipe for Mississippi chuck roast.

Prepare 2 lbs of beef chuck roast by rinsing it and seasoning it with garlic powder and onion powder.

Slice one large onion and add it to the bottom of the slow cooker.

Heat a skillet to sear the roast, without adding oil, as the skillet is seasoned with bacon grease.

Season the roast with garlic powder, onion powder, and Kinder Buttery Steakhouse seasoning.

Sear the roast in the skillet until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Add the seared roast to the slow cooker on top of the onions.

In the skillet, add water to deglaze the pan and scrape up any browned bits.

Add 2 cups of water to the skillet, along with the brown gravy mix, beefy onion soup mix, and au jus gravy mix, stirring to combine.

Taste the mixture to check for saltiness and adjust with more water if needed, totaling about 2.5 cups of water.

Pour the gravy mixture over the roast in the slow cooker.

Add 1/2 stick of salted butter on top of the roast.

Add chopped russet potatoes (skin on) and baby carrots around the roast in the slow cooker.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for several hours until the meat is tender.
