Husband and I gave this 4 stars, but only because I made adjustments that didn't work. I don't normally buy packaged foods, so I made the onion soup mix (a recipe on another website)from scratch using beef bouillon granules, dried minced onion, garlic powder, and pepper. I used no salt in the total recipe, but the bouillon still made the pot roast too salty for our taste. Maybe this wouldnt have happened if I had used Lipton's. Otherwise, this was delicious with the mushrooms and beer. I used a bottle of Anchor Steam which gave it exceptional taste, and served with roasted red potatoes and fresh green beans. Yum.

Probably the best slow cooker roast beef I've had. I think next time I might add a second pouch of onion soup mix because we are onion freaks. :)

Outstanding! Make sure you are using a flavorful, darker, beer. I also added a sliced onion and 5 cloves of chopped garlic. Good stuff!

I used a center cut beef roast (a less expensive cut) and it was wonderful.

Yum Yum yumm... I made just as written and must admit I had an urge to add a few more things, but it was great as is! The house smelled so good it made my stomach growl and I had to eat a bowl of cereal to calm it down. Extremely tasty and SO easy! I made it for company and they loved it! garlic mashed potato was my side dish after reading other reviews. I'll be making this again.

Wonderful flavor. After cooking, I cut the roast into chunks, thicken the gravy, and mixed together. Then I served over garlic mashed. Would work great over egg noodles also.

Great! My husband raved about how tender the meat was. I actually adjusted it a little bit...I used 2 1oz packages of onion soup mix and I used a little over a 3lb chuck roast...the butcher said that would result in a very tender roast.

Excellent roast!! I was a little weary using, but it taste great. Thanks for giving me another great recipe to add to my collection. (I used a 6 lb. roast and my family of 7 ate every single bite.) Thanks again
