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.

Always a good way to make roast beef. I also add additional water (about 1 c.) to make extra gravy. I like adding 2 cloves minced garlic too, for extra flavor.

This is a great and simple recipe!! I added onions and garlic and used one can of cream of mushroom and one can of the cream of mushroom/chicken mix because I opened that can by accident - it still turned out absolutely delicious! I served it over mashed potatoes - perfect!

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..........

My boyfriend is incredibly picky with food. He ate so much of it, I only got one serving! I added some water and a little bit extra beef broth.

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.

I am giving this 5 stars for the simplicity. I thought the taste could use something,so I added garlic and onions. I used regular cooking wine. I also used about an extra cup of beef broth because I knew we would want extra gravy, so I thickened it with corn starch at the end. Overall its great tasting and very easy!

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!

Wow, the taste of the sherry really came out in this. Probably becasue the rest of the flavor was so bland. I'll stick to the old way of doing my roast.

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.

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

I used beef broth instead of sherry, and added carrots and cubed potatoes. This is so easy, and delicious, lot's of flavor. Have made this recipe time and time again on long work days so my family can have a good dinner.
