I love pot roast but prefer it only when it falls apart and is extremely tender. My mother in law makes a roast and I do not like it at all. To me a good roast should just fall apart when you cut it. This recipe is awesome and my husband/partner loves it. I make it all the time but did make one changes beings we both dislike mushrooms. I simply replaced the condensed cream of mushroom with condensed cream of celery. Still is the best ever. I also add some pepper and garlic powder. Do not add salt or you will be sorry. There is enough salt in the soup, gravy mix and so on. I also cook it a little longer if I can. The longer it cooks the more tender it is. Also my dogs love daddy's pot roast. LOL. They know when I'm cooking it and the puppy does not always eat her food except when I add some of my pot roast. LOL. This is a must make recipe and everyone who has had it when I cooked it said it was the best pot roast they ever ate. ENJOY!

Great recipe. Like another person wrote. I put 1/4 flour, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp ground pepper in a bag and placed the meat in the bag and shake it until the meat is covered before cooking in oil. I also added 1/2 cup of red cooking wine, added salt and used four teaspoons of corn starch and water for an awesome beef stew.

This is an excellent dish. I'm not at all a fan of mushrooms or cream of mushroom soup. I have to say I was surprised how good the recipe is.
