I'm giving the base recipe 5 starts but my cooker must be running hot. It is a newer 7qt Rival and if I hadn't gotten home early today I would have had mush, even though it would have been good tasting mush! I didn't have the creamed soup so I used a can of condensed beef broth, pack of Lipton's onion soup, 2T of Worcestershire sauce, and a 1/2t each of garlic and onion powder. I also added lots of potatoes, carrots, celery and a quartered onion. Made some gravy from the drippings after straining and had a great dinner with plenty of leftovers!!

I have tossed my other slow cooked roast recipe and will make this one from now on! The family loved it. The house smelled amazing when we walked through the door. I added some quartered potatoes to the recipe, but that was the only change. Delicious!

I have never wrote a review, and I knew that I had to for this recipe, I made this with a few modifications, but here is what I did. I browned my roast in olive oil, then browned garlic in the oil that I browned my meat in. I set the meat aside and i had put 1 can of cream of celery soup in the crock pot, as well as 1 can of beef broth, about a lb of green beans, 3 red potatoes, the garlic, 1/2 onion quartered, and then put the roast on top, then I sprinkled about 1 tsp(I eyeballed it) of Ms Dash on top of the roast, as well as about 1 T of Daddy Hinkles on top then set it on low for 13 hrs, and OMG it was divine!!

This is the first time I have made a beef roast and not had it turn out all dry and stringy. Perfect and delicious. I did add 8 small potatoes quartered and 1 cup beef broth. Yummy Recipe!!! thanks!

This recipe worked out quite well for me. I used cream of celery soup (we don't like mushrooms), and it all tasted good.

I followed the basic recipe but added a few things of my own. I put carotts and mushrooms on the bottom, onion soup mix on top of the roast and added 3/4 cup of water and tbsp. of worstershire sauce. Cooked for 8 hrs on low and served with mashed potatoes. Very tender and the sauce was excellent.

This was excellent! The only thing different that I did was added potatoes instead of carrots, and I added 1 can of beef broth. I cooked it on low for 8 hours. It was soooooo tender and fell off the fork - exactly how I like it!

My husband followed this recipe exactly. It was the best pot roast that we ever had! This also made a nice gravy to pour over the mashed potatoes. It was really easy to make.

I'm giving this 3 stars as a "base" recipe, but as written, I think the result would be too bland for my taste. As recommended by others, I added a bay leaf, 1.5 Tbsp worcestershire, and a dash of red wine to the gravy mixture. I also added an extra can of cream of mushroom soup and quite a lot of beef broth to cover the meat. I added quartered mushrooms toward to the gravy toward the end of cooking, but elected to cook carrots and mashed potatoes separately. I cooked a 2 3/4 lb roast for about 7.5 hours on low and it was just a little dry. I might make this again with changes, but it doesn't go in the "favorite" meal category.

This was the best roast I have made. I used a 3 lb. arm roast browned in a skillet then laid over a bed of diced onions and garlic that were soaking in 2.5 cups of beef broth. I made slits in the beef to insert garlic cloves, covered with roasted garlic cream of mushroom soup (yes, we love garlic) and cooked it on low for 7 hours. It was sooo tender and delicious. I did have to add some flour to make the gravy, probably due to the extra broth but it was delicious! Instead of adding carrots or potatoes I made a dutch potato recipe (found on this site) which is basically mashed potatoes with carrots. All of it was a hit with even my picky eaters!

Really easy and tasted great, but could have used a little more flavor. I added in the worcestershire and sauteed garlic but will do a little more next time.

Made this for my husband and his father and uncle. Both men have home cooked meals on a limited basis so they are not hard to please. However, this recipe was magnificent and will be the only way I slow cook a roast from now on.

Excellent! I made some minor adjustments, but this is a solid recipe. Pure comfort food. I added quartered red potatoes to the slow cooker, seasoned the roast with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper before searing, threw in more carrots, and I added about a cup of beef broth (whisked that and the soup together before pouring over the roast). The roast was perfectly cooked and everything was delicious. Thank you for the great recipe! :)
