Very good

Excellent! I too added some chopped celery (I had some that needed using up)and Beef Onion Soup mix. Added 1/4 t ground black pepper and WOW it was so yummy after about 8 hours. As one reviewer noted the gravy was watery, so I thickened at the end with flour - about an hour before done. I want to point out that almost every crock pot recipe on here has someone stating it didn't get cooked in the time given. Not all crock pots are created equal, and high altitude (where I cook) makes the time somewhat longer. I compensate for it by setting it on high for the first hour and then turn down. I can do this while getting ready for work, then turn down when I leave.

Followed recipe exactly. It wasn't too salty and the vegetable were not overcooked as others mentioned. I cooked on low for 8 hours. My family really liked it. Will make again.

This was so-so. Neither my hubs or I were all that impressed (sorry!). I prefer Brenda Arnold's slow cooker pot roast by FAR. It's SO much easier to make gravy when you don't have to pick thru a slow cooker full of veggies. Don't get me wrong. I love a good pot roast with slow cooked veggies, but if given a choice, I like to serve mine on the side. As is, this recipe produces a VERY watered down gravy (ick!). I gave up trying to strain it to make gravy on the stovetop and instead, added 1 T cornstarch dissolved in a T of cold water to thicken. This helped somewhat, but our gravy was still quite runny. My final gripe (my hubs also agrees) is that this was terribly bland for our tastes. We like LOTS of flavor and this just didn't meet our expectations. Maybe this will work for you, but it did nothing for us. Thanks anyways, Katy. :-)

Very Bland

Loved it! I was debating whether I should brown the meat first, but I didn't and it turned out very tender! Great recipe :)

When your husband comes and tells you he finished off the rest, it's a wonderful feeling. We loved the recipe. Thank you

it was good...

This recipe does wonders to inexpensive cuts of meat such beef round bottom round steaks (got mine from Sams club). I did run about 1.5 hours short on time so here is what I did. I placed baby carrots & yellow onions on bottom, cut steaks into 4in by 4in pieces and layered on top of veggies. Used beef broth, soup mix & mushroom soup on top and set on high for 1.5 hours then changed to low setting for another 5 hours. Added sliced raw mushrooms in last 40 minutes. My carrot did not turn out mushy as others said. Steak, to my surprise, was tender enough to shred by fork and had great flavor! Even my 3 year old loved it and he doesn't eat much meat. I served with mashed potatoes & french bread yummy! Also, you can make thicker gravy out of the crock pot sauce.. was overall VERY good dish for not a lot of work or money =) I'm writing this review as I'm eating the leftovers for lunch the next day, just as good!

This is a great "throw together" recipe that smells great and works for a busy schedule! I used top round steak and baby carrots. I also added 1 can of sliced potatoes an hour before serving. Next time I will add mushrooms! I served with green beans and wide noodles! Awesome gravy too!
