I just got married this past July and I have a hard time trying to come up with new things each night for my husband. This pot roast was quick, easy and absolutely delicious. My husband was very impressed. I will definitely be making this again.

I have never liked pot roast, until NOW. This is the best tasting and the easiest recipe that I have ever made. Thank you very much Lynn Beech.

Excellent! The only time my roast has been so moist and easy. Use heavy duty foil or a double layer to ensure super easy cleanup.

WOW! This was so delicious and tender! I can't rave about this enough. The whole family loved it. I double wrapped the roast in foil in two different directions to prevent the gravy from leaking out. I also browned the meat first. The meat literally fell apart as I was cutting it. This is my favorite.

Excellent recipe! Juicy and delicious. I browned the roast first in olive oil and red wine vinegar for about 10 minutes. I increased oven temperature to 325 and it took about 2.5 hours for a 2.8lb roast. After 1 hour, I added baby yukon gold potatoes and baby carrots around the roast (after dipping in vegetable oil) and they came out perfect. Easy recipe that I'll definitely make again.

Ok so I didn't follow the recipe exactly... I decided my husband after many weeks of eating recipes made for toddlers (who only like things smothered in cheese or on bread if you get my drift...LOL)deserved something a little more adult. Frankly I was in the mood to do something else too. This recipe looked simple and perfect. I didn't have the right meat so I pulled out three boneless eye round steak to thaw. Then when I was putting it together I found my husband had used the last can of cream of anything soup in yesterdays casserole and had not told me so I used regular condensed tomato soup. I figured with the change in taste it probably could use a bit of spicing so I added probably 2 t. worcestershire sauce and a small can of chopped mushrooms (drained) over the top. The onion soup mix and foil I actually had! Go figure. Anyway I ran short on time so I put the heat at 375F and cut the time to 2 hours although 1.5 hours probably would have been enough. It tasted great! It was firm to cut but actually very soft in your mouth. Next time I would add more W. sauce and cut the cooking time. I would also suggest trying this in a crock pot/slow cooker to keep some of the juice, mine leaked out everywhere. My husband's comment was that it tasted very "professional".

I usually use a slow cooker, but didn't have the time, so I tried this one. It was great!! I added soya sauce, worchestershire sauce, onions and sour cream to the recipe. My family loved it! I only cooked for about 3 1/2 hours also. It was moist and tasty.

Incredibly easy and very tasty! It is also great that it is low-carb. You can never have too many good, low-carb recipes.

This recipe is a good basic recipe, but I like my slow cooker recipe better. I had never made a roast before using this recipe, and I guess I should have browned it in oil first (mom's advice too late) and the roast turned out too dry and looked grey. It had a good taste, so it would probably be fine with some tweaking.

This recipe was great!!! Everyone loved it. I added an extra can of soup, but it still didn't have enough gravy. I also added 1/2 a packet extra of the lipton soup mix.

Used this recipe for a Christmas dish feeding 25 people. I cooked 2 roast weighting 6 pounds and piece. I put them in seperate foil and cooked for 5 hours. It was a definite hit. Everyone loved it.

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed this recipe ::but:: be careful to keep the foil packet well-sealed; mine came apart a little bit and some of the juices leaked out. As a result, the meat tasted a little dry. Other than this little drawback, the recipe was yummy and the leftovers lasted for days!

Wonderful recipe!! I added carrots, onions and potatoes before sealing foil. It's important to put meat and soup on bottom of pan and put veggies on top of meat so the meat is able to sit in the soup sauce...this is key. I've made it 3 times so far, twice for my family and once for a friend who just had a baby...rave reviews from all. I told another friend about it and the next day she had to call and say they just finished it and wanted to thank me for the recipe AND for turning her on to allrecipes.com. She used lowfat cream of mushroom soup and still said it was great!!

I didn't care for this recipe. The meat came out dry, the gravy was very salty and there was hardly any of it. I had better luck with the crockpot recipes on this site...my roasts have always come out tender with plenty of gravy.

I had never made pot roast in the oven, so I wanted to try this recipe. I have made almost this same recipe in the crock pot, and prefer it that way. The only difference with the crock pot, is to increase the water to 1/2 cup and cook on low 8 hours, or high 4 hours. The gravy is thicker in the crock pot and is all contained, rather than all over. I will make it this in the oven on a cold winter day to warm up the house though.

This is the best pot roast recipe EVER! It tastes just like mom's, and this method is easier! The soup makes a wonderful gravy that is more than enough for the meat and potatoes. At first bite my boyfriend said "Yup, add this to the dinner rotation!" THANKS!!
