Welcome to the channel and introduction to the pot roast recipe.

Gather ingredients: chuck roast, garlic, onion, carrots, potatoes, Creole seasoning, olive oil, brown gravy, green onions, salt, pepper, milk, and butter.

Chop garlic and onion: mince garlic and slice onion into less than 1/4 inch thick slices.

Heat a skillet to medium-high heat (6.5 to 7) and add 1/4 cup of olive oil.

Season the chuck roast generously with Creole seasoning on all sides.

Poke holes in the thickest part of the roast and fill them with Creole seasoning and minced garlic.

Sear the roast in the skillet until browned on both sides, checking for a nice dark brown color without burning.

Transfer the seared roast to a large crock pot.

Add chopped carrots, potatoes, and onion around the roast in the crock pot.

Sprinkle the packet of brown gravy over the roast and vegetables.

Add salt, pepper, and any remaining garlic on top of the roast.

Cover the crock pot and cook on low for several hours until the meat is tender.
