I stumbled upon this recipe because I am trying to use up canned goods that have been in my pantry too long. I had 2 cans of jellied cranberry from Christmas and had no idea what to do with them. I guess I'll be keeping my pantry stocked with jellied cranberry from now on. This was great and not too salty (I used reduced sodium soup mix). My husband raved! Thanks for such an easy recipe!

This recipe was very easy. The meat was very tender and the gravy was very good. My family loved this meal, I will definitely make it again.

I will not be making this recipe again. The meat came out very dry and the sauce was just too sweet. It is a very simple recipe so I thought I would give it a try but was very disappointed with the results.

I had a recipe similar to this, which called for ketchup and water. I used 1 cup each per can of cranberry sauce, and used whole cranberry sauce. The smell was very unappealing, but I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. I love cranberry sauce, but I could see how some people would not like this. The cranberry does add a tang. I liked the flavor with the meat, but did not really care for the extra gravy with the potatoes. I also used corn starch instead of flour and butter. Will definitely make again, and try it without the ketchup, too.

This is an amazing good recipe (and easy)! Everyone who has had it as raved... and I've never used anything but a basic chuck roast. Wouldn't change a thing... and by the way, it works with whole berry cranberry sauce as well! Would recommend this to anyone. In fact, I have recommended it to MANY people already... and they all have loved it!

My family loved this roast. The gravy was delicious made from the juices and cranberry sauce. I think next time I will try it with whole cranberry sauce, rather than the jelly kind. I will definitely make this again.

This is a great recipe. We've made it several times. We double the cranberry sauce and add 2 packets of onion soup mix and use the extra gravy over mashed potatoes. Delicious!

Mmmmmm. I was leary about this one but all the great reviews convinced me to try it - it was delicious!! I used a pork roast instead of a beef one (just what I had in the fridge) and served it with mashed potatoes. Even dh (who is the world's pickiest eater) loved it! :)

Very good. We ate it over mashed potatoes. I also used a rump roast because that's what we had. Thanks for an easy week night meal.

This is a fantastic addition to the rotation of meals. We were completely surprised by the cranberry sauce and how yummy tender everything comes out. Thank you!

No, it's not a mistake: this is for a beef chuck roast (but feel free to use pork, I guess). What a revelation! I've made pot roast for years, but would never have guessed that cranberry sauce would produce a nice browned roast (in a slow cooker!) with such rich gravy. I used water and corn starch to thicken the gravy, instead of the butter & flour in the recipe. We had it over egg noodles, but next time I'll add quartered potatoes and baby carrots, because I think they would go well with this. If so, I would also add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of water, to produce a little more gravy for cooking the vegetables.

This was just OK. Mine turned out a little dry. If I made this again, I would add a little water to the crock pot. I also think this would be better with pork.

As others said, I think this would have gone better with a pork roast but I did give it a shot with beef. Will make again but with pork. Thanks

"Excellent" is what my very picky Hubby had to say about this roast. When he asked what was on top and I told him, he said, "Interesting ... in a good way." I cooked this on high for 4.5 hours and it was falling-apart tender. THANK YOU for this addition to my roast repertoire!

This was good but not great. I might make it again but won't run out to buy the ingredients or crave it. It was VERY easy and cooked up nice. I cooked it on low for about 7 hours then turned it down to warm until we were ready to eat.
