I think this recipe forms a good basis for a quick pot roast. I am assuming that this recipe was written with the understanding that people have had pot roast and can somehow approximate their way to completion. Pot Roast, however is a lengthy affair and does have more steps to completion. 1. There is absolutely no reason that this cannot be cooked at 350 degrees. If you want low and slow then it is goes to take longer than 1.5 hours. 2. Pepper! There is plenty of salt in the cream o' mushroom but the meat needs some bite to that bark. I coated my roast with pepper before hand. 3. Where is the celery? Pot roast is supposed to have celery. Add some sliced celery, oven to 350F, and make it at least 2 hours cook time. 4. Mix the canned soup and water together first. I'd put the water and canned soup in a bowl and warm it up in the microwave. Stir and pour over the meat. 5. Not essential, but a oven bag helps. If you like your pot roast in the oven then the oven bag turbo charges it. You can find them in the ziplock aisle. 6. Italian seasoning. If you don't have 'Italians styled stewed tomatoes'then regular stewed tomatoes and Italian seasoning blend (spice aisle) is the same thing. Nice quick and easy pot roast overall.
