Favorite Pot Roast Recipe Made in the Crock Pot/Slow Cooker
Ingredients
- 5 to 6 pound pot roast
- 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup (or make homemade condensed cream of mushroom soup, using equivalent amount)
- 1 packet onion soup mix (Lipton or store brand – 1 ounce packet (or make homemade dry onion soup mix)
- 1 1/4 cups of water (water can be substituted with beef broth. You can also add a little red wine. My favorite is 1 cup water and 1/4 cup red wine)
- salt & pepper to taste (or use your favorite go-to seasonings)
Directions
Lightly spray crock pot with non-stick cooking spray. Place roast in crock pot and season with salt and pepper or your favorite seasonings. In a medium size bowl, mix soups (can and dried) and water and pour mixture evenly over roast. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours. Each crock pot cooks differently so you may need to adjust cooking times. Serve with your favorite potatoes and veggies. The gravy from the roast is wonderful with mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
Tips
Browning the roast before placing in the crock pot adds wonderful flavor. Also, if you had red wine, I highly recommend replacing 1/4 of cup of water with wine – it’s wonderful!
For leftover roast beef sandwiches, try my Grandpa Kelly’s Famous Horseradish Cheese Spread recipe! Just 4 ingredients, simple to make, so good.
Thanks for stopping by!
Cheers!
I used cream of chicken instead since I didn’t have mushroom. I also used beef broth instead of water and added the red wine vinegar. I also added garlic. This was one of the most AMAZING crockpot recipes I have ever made! I made 7 adults and 5 kids all happy and those are hard odds to come by!! Thank you so much for this recipe!
Do you have a good gravy from the roast recipe to go with this?
Yeszenia – the roast makes it’s own gravy, so no need! The gravy is what makes the roast so good.
This is so good! And my super picky husband likes it too. I use a bit of wine, as suggested.
Browning and adding red wine takes it to the next level. Thrilled you enjoyed this old school recipe, Erica!
This is the best pot roast! Delish! Thank you so much.
Good recipe for the meat. But when do you put in the vegies for best tenderness.
i put 2 cans mushroom soup, 1 can cream of celery, and use beef broth for the liquid. I put potatoes, carrots, onion and mushrooms on the bottom of the crock pot, top with roast, then cook for 8-9 hours on low
I have a 2.6# roast how can I adapt your recipe & cook time for my roast?
Made this recipe! It smells and tastes delicious. Very easy to make. Added carrots and potatoes in the last hour and everything came out great!
Can you put potatoes and carrots possibly fresh mushrooms in here also? Would you need to increase the liquid?
