Roast Beef and Gravy
SUBMITTED BY:

"'This is by far the simplest way to make roast beef and gravy,' assures Abby Metzger of Larchwood, Iowa. 'On busy days, I can put this main dish in the slow cooker and forget about it. My family likes it with mashed potatoes and fruit salad.'"

This was very good. But I added 1 and 1/2cup of water to this. Otherwise it would be way too salty. This way you have more gravy, too. Meat was tender and very very good. Thank you.

This recipe was excellent. I added one can of golden mushroom soup (found at Publix), which made a huge difference. I poured both soups and the broth in the crock pot, mixed them with a fork, and then put in a beef roast and cooked it on high for ~8 hours. For new cooks: any large chunk of "stew" beef works well in a recipe like this one.

This was excellent. Since my family likes a lot of gravy, I used an entire can of beef broth, in addition to the 1/3 cup of sherry and mushroom soup. For extra flavor, I also added 2 garlic cloves.

Talk about simple! I used a very lean 3 pound top loin roast with very little fat (had no need to trim any off). I made the recipe just as specified...nothing in the crock pot except the roast and the recipe ingredients. This thing was fantastic. The meat was flavorful and fork-tender, as you would expect from a crockery cooker recipe. The gravy was heaven. I added about 1T of Wondra flour to the gravy after removing the roat, and whisked for about 20 seconds. The result was a gravy to die for. We served it over rice next to the roast, and everyone at table kept pouring more onto their food and saying, "Wow, I just can't believe how good this is!" with each bite. I've had bad luck with beef roasts. This recipe is foolproof.

We just had this recipe for our "Easter Dinner". It was fabulous. Everyone loved it. At first I was a little worried that the mushroom soup would make it taste like a typical mushroom soup recipe (the ones where you just dump mushroom soup over almost anything) but it was amamazing. No one even knew that there was mushroom soup in it. I added an onion sliced and about a cup of sliced mushrooms to it. I also made it in the oven on about 300 degrees for about 4 hours instead of the slow cooker. I couldn't believe how tender it was. Will definately make it again and again and again..........

Excellent roast recipe. We added onions, baby carrots, and celery at the beginning. Served the gravy over mashed potatoes. Thumbs-up from everyone!

Very easy. Many complained about the salt, so I bought one regular can of soup & one 25% reduced sodium can. Though, I never had any salt problems, it was perfect & I don't think it mattered what cans I bought. However, I did make modifications, an extra cup of beef broth for more gravy & I added pearl onions, carrots, 3 stalks of celery & some sliced mushrooms about 45 minutes before it was done. It only took 6 hours to cook & I sprinkled a little parsley on top & served with mashed potatoes.

This is similar to the one my mother in law has made for 30 years. She uses 2 cans of cream of celery with one envelope of onion soup mix. I rub the roast down with the soup mix and put the cream of celery soup on the top. Thats it, no sherry. Its so tender and moist! I'll be making this for the next 30 years too!

This was awful! The roast was dry and the flavor was blah. My husband barely choked it down. I was looking for something easy, and this certainly was, but it was terrible. In addition, it was an awful mess to clean up in the crock pot as the soup burned to the sides.

The flavor on this is so awesome, however, I am only rating it a 4 because it was a bit salty. Perhaps next time I could try using reduced sodium products or throwing a raw potato in the liquid while it is cooking (I know this works for stew but not sure how it would work with a roast). Otherwise very tasty and fork tender.
