This is my go to recipe. I don't change a thing and it comes out perfect. There's only 2 of us so I usually end up freezing a portion. The leftover's are great. Very easy and very tasty. Thanks Brenda.

The best pot roast recipe out there. I am sure you can make modifications to fit your tastes but this is absolutely the best basic recipe.

This is the best pot roast ever! My husband asks for it all the time. I use a can of beef broth instead of the water... and sometimes add carrots and potatoes. Excellent recipe!

So very good. I feel bad rating this since I didn't make it exactly as written, but it was delicious! I didn't have cream of mushroom soup (I thought I did since it is a staple), so I used one can of condensed beef broth and one can of tomato soup instead. It was delicious. I can't wait to try this again with the mushroom soup, it will likely be even better. Oh, and I tossed in some quartered potatoes for the last 4 hours of cooking and they were almost as tasty as the roast. I will be making this again very soon.

My family loves this recipe. I have made it with and without vegetables and it is best without vegetables cooked with it. Sometimes I just add some sliced onion but that is it. Very flavorful and I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans and rolls--Perfect!!!!!

Sooooo easy. I added some carrots, potatoes and onions the last 2 hours while cooking on low and used some flour and water to thicken it. Hubby and daughter just loved it.

Very good. I strained the liquid and added a corn starch and water mix to thicken the gravy. There was more than enough gravy for the roast plus a side dish. I ended up freezing the remaining gravy for future meals. Good flavor and the entire family loved it!

FANTASTIC! My husband is so picky, its taken us years to find a pot roast that he likes and this is the one! I gave it 4 stars only because I added some veggies and made minor changes. Like other reviewers I floured and salt & peppered the meat before browning it on all sides in a pan, and then put it in the slow cooker. I actually don't like cream of mushroom soup and I was a little worried the onion soup mix would be too much onion/too salty. I always try to follow a recipe as closely as possible the first time though, so I used them both but replaced the water with beef stock. It was such a delicious gravy, not too oniony or salty at all! I cooked this on low for about 6 hours, then I sauteed celery and carrots in the same pan I did the beef in- scraping up all those brown bits- and added them to the pot. I turned it up to high for the last hour or two and everything was cooked to perfection. Served with mashed potatoes, mmm. This recipe will be my standard pot roast from now on.

I'm giving this recipe 4 stars because of the changes I made. After reading several reviews, I combined a few based on what I thought my family would like. I bought 2 roasts which totaled close to 6 lbs. I rubbed each roast with a coating of flour, coarse garlic salt, and rosemary, then seared each in a skillet with extra virgin olive oil. I set the roasts in the slow cooker placed slices of half an onion and crushed garlic on top of the roast. I added some large chunks of carrots and celery in with the roast, as well. In the skillet, I kept the drippings from searing the roast and added 1 cup of beef broth and 1/3 cup of merlot. Then I added 2 cans of 99% fat free cream of mushroom soup and 1 package of dry onion soup mix. I mixed that well in the skillet and allowed it to simmer for a few minutes. Then I poured the mixture over the meat and vegetables in the slow cooker. Since I was preparing it for the next day, I stuck the whole thing in the fridge overnight. Before I left for work the next morning, I pulled it out of the fridge and cooked it on low for 10 hours. I served it to my family and some friends with roasted new potatoes and roasted cauliflower. It was a big hit!! Everyone loved it!!

I had this in my box since 2005 and just made it this weekend: it's a shame I waited so long, absolutely amazing and I will never look for another roast recipe again. I made it to the letter and as we don't eat roasts all that much, I don't think I'll ever see the need to tweak it. Some have commented the water is too much: I think it's a perfect amount. We eat it with lots of delicious gravy over everything, so people who enjoy it in different ways might feel it's too much. I used chuck roasts very well trimmed: not too much fat and super tender. Be sure to mix a couple times throughout cooking so there are no hunks of roast out of the juice for too long. All I needed was a pot of egg noodles to round out this comforting meal: thanks so much for sharing :)

Very, very good! As per others suggestions, i used a chuck roast (approx. 3lbs), one package of dry onion soup mix, one can of condensed cream of mushroom soup, one can of golden mushroom soup and one 14oz can of beef broth. Added two bay leaves and one tablespoon of worchestershire sauce. Floured (seasonded with salt, pepper and galice powder) and browed the meat in a bit of olive oil before adding to slow cooker. Cooked on high for 4-4 1/2 hours. Added carrots and mushroom about half way through. Came out great! Sliced it up and heated it in it's gravy. Very tender meat. Will make again!!

Love this recipe! My husband is a complete meat lover, and I have never really cared much for beef. For the first time ever, I went back for seconds when eating pot roast! The second time I made it, I was out of onion soup mix, but had some vegetable soup mix, and it was just as good! Thank you!

I agree, the roast is pretty awesome. I added potatoes, onion, and carrots and they were okay but next time I'll fix veggies separate.
