This is how I have made pot roast for years, except I use beef broth instead of water, and I do occasionally add beef gravy to the mix. So good! And then, use the leftovers for soup--even better!!

My mother-in-law made this for years using fresh onion and tomato soup - meat is incredibly tender! Still one of my husbands fav meals with mashed potato's and rolls for dipping into the sauce!

I lightly browned the steak with a few tablespoons of water and used the broth to make a "test" gravy with the C of M soup and the dry soup. I did find it rather bland and substituted an Italian dressing mix for the onion soup mix. I also used apples instead of carrots and that turned out really well, though I might add them 2/3 of the way through cooking the next time.

I made this for my very picky kids and they loved it! Did not use carrots and added 3 extra potatoes, 1/4 cup more water, and kept eveything else the same. potatoes were not mushy like others said they came out perfect. Nothing was left over will definetly make again!

This was simple and had a great flavor. The meat came out very tender. Only changes I made were sprinkling garlic salt over the meat before cooking and including sliced fresh mushrooms.

Okay, so hubby and I weren't impressed by this recipe, but it wasn't bad either. We both felt like it was missing something, but we weren't quite sure what that was. I did add fresh mushrooms that I halved, and some minced garlic. I'll probably make this again if I have round steaks that need used up.

No surprises here. This was a good, basic, meat and veggie slow cooker dish.

Pretty good, but kind of bland the first time I made it. The second time, I used beef broth instead of water, and seasoned the meat with garlic pepper, seasoned salt and onion powder. We though it was much better with the modifications. This is one of my husband's favorites.

this recipe is a staple in our house! during the work week, I use a bag of frozen veggies instead of the fresh produce. its easy to throw in the crock pot before work - and wonderful to smell when you get home. thanks for the recipe!!
