Step #11 in the Instructions says: “Pour juices and onions over the meat and enjoy!” But there are no onions in the Ingredients list. Also there are no onions in any of the photos. Is that an oversight? Should there be onions in this recipe?
No i am so sorry, it was a typo. No onions at all in this recipe. 🙂
I have prepared this recipe for years. But I use one envelope ranch dressing, one envelope brown gravy, one envelope onion soup mix. All added together to 1C. Water. I brown my Chuck Roast, add my veggies pour mixture over everything and pressure cook 45 minutes. Perfect every time.
