This is a great way to cook on busy errand days. The gravy makes itself and the roast literally falls apart, you have to scoop it out with a spoon. You can even place the roast in FROZEN if you want just add a few hours extra time of cooking. It is always perfect and everyone eats it up--never much left over for lunches.

My husband and daughter both agree this was the best roast I ever made. The gravy was very flavorful. Thank you!

    Great flavor though lots of salt. I will use the substitutes that Kitchenwitchway suggested next time to cut down on the salt.

    This turned out beautifully - my husband actually ate pretty much the whole roast - it was falling apart and so tender. I didn't have the onion and mushroom soup mix so i used some french onion soup mix and some of the "cream of anything soup" mix from hillbillyhousewife, with water - and seared the roast before i put it in the crockpot - then scraped off the brownings with some water and added that to the crockpot as well instead of beef broth and bouillon, which i also didn't have. It still turned out great! And the gravy was delicious - i had some on a bun with the gravy to dip it in and it was probably the best beef dip i have had in a very long time!

    This was great! We didn't have the Onion Mushroom Soup packet so we just used the plain Onion Mix instead. Still came out fabulous!Mashed potatoes compliments this well. Even the kids loved it! Thank you.
