I have been using this recipe for at least a year now, and I love it. I usually don't add much water, because I like a thicker gravy. I also usually add 1 or 2 packets of brown gravy mix to the soup mixture, because it helps thicken the gravy without much work on my part. Sometimes I add potatoes and/or carrots and always fresh mushrooms. We usually serve this with rice and a green vegetable. Thanks for an awesome and easy recipe.

Great flavor. So quick and simple. I also threw in potatoes with the roast. Cooked 6lb roast on low for 12 hours. It fell apart when pulling it out of the crockpot. I used the drippings to make an incredible gravy. The trick to cooking roast - you can almost never overcook it. I always undercooked my roasts and that is why they were so tough and chewy.

This was EXCELLENT and exactly the “taste” we were looking for in a pot roast, we both agreed on that, so the Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast title is the perfect description, as it don’t get any better than this. I had a much smaller roast (3 lbs.), so only needed 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, reduced the water to 1 cup to compensate for the smaller roast, and then added about 3/4 cup of water and 1/4-1/3 cup of cornstarch blended into it in the last hour to thicken the gravy a little more. I also added 2 very large potatoes (thickly sliced) and 5 sliced carrots and that was just right for 2 people and plenty of wonderful leftovers for two-three people, plus some great beef sandwiches for my husband’s lunch, and probably mine too. I also did add more than several twists of freshly ground peppercorns. This is totally comfort food at it’s finest with whole wheat bread and butter. We really both love this recipe, and I’ll know how I want to do my roast time. Thanks KC so much for sharing this! It’s my favorite recipe on Zaar so far, and that’s no small thing!
