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.

easy 5 star recipe with changes. I used a 2.2 pound boneless shoulder. I floured and browned in a pan with olive oil. I deglazed pan with a red wine and sauteed a small onion and 2 cloves of garlic. Added 2 cups of water and 1 beef bouillon cube. I added celery salt. Poured everything into a crock pot with carrots, potatoes and celery. Cooked for 6 hours on low. It was the best pot roast I ever made. It fell apart it was so tender. Fantastic!

Excellent Recipe! DH added 1 can drained mushrooms, used 1 can cream of mushroom soup, and a third of a can cream of broccoli soup. Used a 1.5 kilo roast, and was well done on high in 4 hours...will try on low next time. (we like our meat on the rare side!). Super easy and delicious! We`re looking forward to hot beef sandwiches with the leftovers tomorrow!

I have been making this recipe for years. I serve it with mashed potatoes of which I make extra. With the leftover meat, I shred it and throw it in the extra gravy and serve it over the extra mashed potatoes for the next night. YUMMY

Love this recipe! I do sometimes add the potatoes, carrots, and onions as others have. I also have used a can of French onion soup instead of the dry soup mix and 2 Tbls of Kitchen Bouquet to add color and depth to recipe. Terrific for slow cooker meal that is always tasty and tender. Good enough to serve your in-laws!

I've been making this for years. Pork roast works great also. I always brown it first, and add canned mushrooms. I use cream of chicken soup also for variety. If you don't use the water, it will make a nice thick gravy and can be served over mashed potatoes.

Do NOT cook on high for shorter amount of time. The roast was definitely not done in 4 hours and it gets too tough cooked on high. Other than that this was very good, I did sear the meat first after coating in flour, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Also added a can of beef broth instead of water.
