THIS WAS AWESOME. I DO NOT USUALLY CARE MUCH FOR POT ROAST BECAUSE IT ALWAYS COMES OUT DRY. THE SEARING PROCESS MUST BE THE SECRETE. EVERYTHING ELSE I DID THE SAME EXCEPT I ADDED ABOUT 2 TEASPOONS OF 'BETTER THAN BOUILLON' BRAND BOUILLON TO THE GRAVEY WHICH GAVE A VERY RICH FLAVOR.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND 'BTB'. IT IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN REGULAR BOUILLON; THE 'VEGETABLE BASE' IS BEST AND IT IS USED EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AS REGULAR BOUILLON.

Would certianly do this again. I did add 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce to 2 pounds of meat. I also cut up some potatoes and added them with two hours left to cook. I think next time I would add them sooner because they were still a little hard.

This was good, however it seemed pretty salty to me. I used a 3 pound bottom round roast, and the meat turned out find aside from the salt. i also used beef stock in place of water for more flavor, perhaps that is where the salty flavor came from. Other than that, it was pretty good! and easy in the slow cooker!

My husband really loved it--used to cook pot roast with tomato-based soup, but he likes this. Today will try adding the Worcestershire sauce as suggested by others. Will try the "stroganoff" suggestion next week. Thanks y'all.

I gave four stars because I tweaked it. I cut slits into the roast and put the garlic in the slits before browning. I cooked it for nine hours so I added more liquid, I did a 1/4c of beef broth on the bottom of the slowcooker and then deglazed the browning pan with a 1/4 of beef broth and poured it on top of the roast. I also added a bay leaf and worchestershire. I might add cumin next time for a smokey flavor or possibly hot sauce. It was sooo good though. The soup definitely makes a difference and creates a great gravy! Thanks!

Excellent. I had a big roast so I didn't put in any veggies with it except for a large quartered onion. After it was done cooking, I removed the meat, drained the juices and onion into my blender and pureed it. Poured the juices into a pot added a little shooken up flour with water to thicken it into a gravy. Fabulous! This is how I will be cooking a slow cooker roast from here on. Thank you!

The meat was dry and the gravy was bland. My family will insist I never ever make this again.

This recipe was so easy, and very tasty. I wished there were potatoes included, but they always get mushy when I add them to a roast, so I cut up some potatoes, boiled them for 10 minutes, then threw them into the slow cooker for about 30 minutes to pick up the flavour of the gravy. Delicious.

This recipe was delicious and so easy. I didn't want potatos, so I left them out of the slow cooker but served everything over mashed potatos. My husband absolutely loved it! Yum!!!

The vegetables in the sauce turned out absolutely delicious! The meat however turned out very dry. I layered exactly as was directed. Probably won't be making this again.

I used the standardized recipe. I shared the meal with friends who said that it was the best pot roast they'd ever eaten. I even got the comment, "This might be better than my grandma's." It also made my entire apartment smell delicious!

Quite good. Did everything as per recipe except I thickened the sauce/gravyright before serving by adding some cornstarch mixed with water. My husband loved it! I used 2 smallish beef arm roasts.

Followed Working Mom Gourmet and others suggestions about adding worceshire sauce and using celery soup to the roast; added potatoes and veggies. Perfect dinner for a long day and a cold fall evening in Virginia. Would make again! Thank you!
