My Husband said this was the best pot roast I ever made! I really liked it too. Changes we made... added a can of mushrooms and a lb of baby carrots. Loved it!!!

I have made this several times. Sometimes the way the recipe states, sometimes I add different types of veggies, but any way I make it, it is GREAT!! Even better the second day.

This is good eatin. Yes, I have made this my official Slow Cooker Roast recipe. I make this at least 2 times a month. Great as sammies the next day! Happy eatin!

As a New Englander who loves a great pot roast on cold nights- this is it. I may have the solution to those who do not like the gravy. First of all, if it's too beige, it probably wasn't cooked long enough. I had a smaller cut of meat so used only one can of soup but the whole envelope of french onion and almost a whole can of water. During the last 2 hours I threw in half an onion sliced, a big handful of baby carrots and 3 celery stalks chopped in chunks. Once the meat is cooked, you remove it, add flour mixed with water to prevent chunks or cornstarch to thicken -then puree everything (veggies and all)in a blender/processor with a dash of light cream, half and half and you have a smooth but thick and delicious gravy- No chunks! Sound complicated but really not. The veggies and cream give it enough sweetness so that it is not too salty. We loved it- great- thank you! I understand the 3000+ reviews.

DIVINE! Made it tonight and everyone just hoovered it up! Yum yum yum! Oh and if you only have one can of mushroom, cream of chicken works well too, I used one can of that and one can of mushroom.

This was my first recipe to make a pot roast and it came out very well. The first time I made it I did brown the meat and it was a tiny bit dry. I'm making it today as we speak and I'm not browning it first to see if there's a difference. Very easy recipe, great flavor...we also used the gravy for mashed potatoes. Definitely a keeper.

Out of all the recipes on this site, i believe this one is the one i have made most often!! This recipe is perfect & i never change a thing, except add a little pepper to taste, Thanks so much for this valuable recipe. definitely worth the entire 5 stars given!!

So easy, so good! I will definitely make this again.

This recipe was really disappointing to me. If you want a yummy pot roast, I'd advise doing it the traditional way by taking the cut of meat, salt and peppering it and laying it down in a bit of water and surrounding it with potatoes, carrots and onions as it cooks slowly in a regular oven. I love Pot Roast and I love crock pots (easy to use, easy clean up, and more) but good Pot Roast just does not come from the crock pot, in my opinion. PS: More specifically about this recipe: The "gravy" was gnarly; an odd concoction of french onion dip and mushroom soup that rendered the roast a dull and pasty gray-beige color. Further, I have no idea what you would want to use the "gravy" for! I sure as shucks wouldnt want to put that stuff on my mashed potatoes!

all i have to say is WOW. i had been draving pot roast for weeks and i needed the perfect recipe...this was it. it was so melt in your mouth tender and yes, there was alot of gravy but i found that the roast was kind of dry so the gravy made it so much more moist. I substituted cream of potato soup for the mushroom soup. IT WAS DELICIOUS.

Unbelievably easy, turns out great and everyone loves it! I also add baby carrots and small red potatoes to mine for a complete meal!

This has become one of my standbys. It's so easy and turns out fantastic every time. I've also used 1 can of cream of mushroom and 1 can of golden mushroom soup and substituted roasted garlic and onion soup mix or mushroom and onion soup mix and it still turned out great. I like to add a few cloves of crushed garlic to the soup or insert them into the roast before placing in the slow cooker.

All I can say is my old pot roast recipe is going in the trash! This one is so much better. Make with a side of smashed potatoes and you have a great southern home cooked meal. Who needs Cracker Barrel?

i added onions layered on the bottom and on top - a personal preference. I seared the meat for a few minutes before placing in the slow cooker. i added vegetables 2 hours before it was done. Next time i will add potatoes at the beginning and carrots 2 hrs towards the end. Excellent and will definitely make again. An easy staple!!

I accidentally opened a can of cream of onion soup instead of one of my cream of mushrooms, so I omitted the dry onion soup mix. It was incredible!

excellent and soooo easy

Terrific! My husband doesn't cook but one evening I had a last minute meeting to attend, I had heard about this recipe from a friend who raved about it! So I called my husband and walked him through this over the phone, we didn't have a roast but I had planned on making these little top round steaks, so we used them instead I had my husband use 1 can of soup & reduce the water some but everything else stayed the same. 3 hours later when I arrived home We had perfect little "Mini Roasts" so tender! I made some potatos and topped them with the extra gravy. The Steaks were so tender you could cut them with a fork & tasted just like pot roast!! Thank you dinner was ready & my husband was very proud of himself!!!
