I've made this recipe for years with just one can of soup and 1/2 can of water (that makes plenty of gravy for us). I've found that it's ESSENTIAL to dredge the roast in flour with salt and pepper and brown it in some oil before you put it in the crockpot. It only takes about 5 minutes and makes the roast tons more flavorful and tender.

Very bland. The onions had a good flavor, but the potatoes were almost tasteless. I'll keep looking.

Only used 1/2 an onion, but followed everything else. It was great and made enough for at least 6 people. Thanks for a great, simple, cheap recipe!
