This is the most simple, yet perfect roast I have ever made. Also - because it's so simple, it's easy to memorize and therefore a great main course to throw together. The gravy that it "made" was also delicious! I served it with mashed potatoes (cooked seperately) and carrots in a butter sauce! EXCELLENT!

Yum! I've used the same ingredients in a crock pot over the years, but this method of cooking made the roast even better.

This was delicious. I wish I would have used two cans of soup so there had been more gravy. Instead of wrapping everything in foil I covered the 9x13 in foil and it worked just as well. I've always been wary of making pot roast becuase my mom's was never that tasty (sorry Mom, I love you anyway!). But this was so good and so simple.

Used this same recipe many times over the years from an old Betty Crocker cookbook. It is Identical. Thanks Betty.

My family loved this recipe. I followed other reviewers' suggestions and put some potatoes and carrots around the meat. I thought it might be too salty so I used low sodium, low fat cream of mushroom soup. It was really great!

I am 72 years old and this was the best and tastiest roast I ever cooked! I did add a couple of tablespoons of Beau Monde patted all over the roast, which always enriches beef. My grandchildren who can be picky, ate the entire roast!

This was not that great to me. I thought it tasted too much like the packaged onion soup.

This is really good. I like my meat well done so I cooked for the full 4 hours. I used 2 cans of Cream Mushroom soup and 1 packet dry onion mix. I added baby carrots, whole mushrooms, and baby red potatoes (cut in half). Unfortunately I used a larger pan and there wasn't much gravy (it just dried all over bottom). Next time I will use a 9*13 inch pan and see how the gravy turns out then. Everything still tasted delicious. The meat was so tender, but I think it needs some more seasoning. I will definately make this again and play around with the seasonings.

This meal was super easy and tasted "just like my mom's pot roast." The gravy made itself in the tin foil; all I had to do was make the mashed potatoes.

Very tender with wonderful gravy. My husband liked it better than my usual pot roast. Next time I will cook it in the crock pot.

WOW! I was very impressed with this recipe! I was sckeptical of the taste of the soup and onion mix - but it was great....this is a man pleaser and a comfort food. I threw in some nugget potatoes an hour prior to it finishing.

This was delicious and easy! I followed the recipe exactly except I ended up buying the wrong cut of beef (I don't know all about cuts of meat and ended up getting a rump roast of some sort), but it turned out great anyway. Definitely how I'll prepare this from now on, next time I'll probably add some carrots and potatoes to the little foil pouch. Oh and speaking of foil, I did what some others did and first lined the pan itself in foil just in case there was overflow, and there was. But the extra foil kept the pan nice and clean! Thanks, Lynn!

we thought this was good but not great. try to cook your meat for the full 4 hours. i read several reviews recommending a shorter time so i crumbled & took my roast out after 3 hours. the meat was tasty but far from tender. i know another hour in the oven would've made the difference. this went well with mashed potatoes & mixed veggies. thanks lynn!
