Awesome! I substitute the onion soup mix with 2 tbsp. onion powder, salt, and pepper. Potatoes, carrots, and onions taste great when added an hour or two before it's all ready. Five stars for needing only a few ingredients and the no-brainer technique! Thank you for the recipe!

This was the best Pot Roast recipe i ever tested.

I thought the flavor was ordinary. I suggest Alton Brown's pot roast recipe with onion garlic raisins olives and balsamic vinegar.Google it!

This is such a great, easy recipe! The only changes I made were that I did my roast in the slow cooker, and added potatoes to the bottom. It turned out so tender and delicious. Will definitely make again and again!

I've been using this recipe since I made my first roast--probably almost 8 years ago. It is always a hit. Even my mother now makes it this way. It's just too easy and tastes too good to make it any more complicated. I started out making it just like it says, although I now usually add a dash of worcestershire or wine. I have also made it in a crockpot with good results--although all day cooking is not necessary with that method and time depends on the roast size. To extend time, you can start with a frozen roast. Served with veggies, and mashed potatoes or oven fries, this is an excellent staple recipe for any family.

this was an absolute delicious meal served with mashed potatoes the meat was tender and moist and the gravy was great with potatoes.i will definitely make this again. i wonder if it works well with London broil?

I completely agree with the other comments. This was my first pot roast ever and this recipe exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much!

This was really great, so easy! of course I had to make a few changes due to not having some items in the house. I used an oven bag and didnt have the onion soup so I added chopped onion. My BF hates mushrooms so I added one can of cream of potato soup and one can of cream of chicken soup, it was DELISH!!! It smelled so good cooking and make the BEST gravy!! The roast was so tender. definately a keeper!

At first, I was worried about the salt not penetrating the roast but I found that if you cut the roast (cooked) into small slices and pour the sauce over them, they're just fine. Wonderful recipe, very easy. Everyone had seconds.

This was a bit more dry than our usual way (which is to simmer it all day in seasoned water, so obviously it's VERY moist). The kids LOVED the "gravy" that the soup mixture made. They couldn't get enough.

WOW! This pot roast was DELICIOUS! The only changes I made was that I used 1 1/2 cans of cream of mushroom soup and added fresh potatoes and carrots. The gravy it made was very good, if you do not like potatoes and carrots with your roast the gravy would be great over mashed potatoes. I will make this again and again!

This roast was incredible. I made a smaller roast (1-1/2 lbs.) and only cooked it 2-1/2 hours, and it turned out great. It was tender and tasty and I will definitely make it again. I used a ranch roast which was awesome. Perfect Sunday meal accompanied with homemade mashed potatos and corn. Yummm-eeeee!

This was very good. However, I did have to make some alterations because I didn't have the onion soup mix. I used 1/2 packet of dried italian dressing packet and 1/2 packet of brown gravy mix. My husband LOVED it the altered way! I will try the recipe next time with the soup mix to see if he likes it any better.

so easy and so good. no fail recipe.

tried this exactly as stated, and my family thought my old way of doing roast was better.
