I loved it the first time I made it. Cooking again for dinner tonight. I decided to vary it a little and use sugar peas instead of green beans. Sure it’ll be really great again.
Absolutely love this recipe. Plan on making it again for dinner tomorrow.
This was a great slow cooker pot roast. I loved the veggies and they turned out amazing and very tasteful. There were a couple of things I changed. I went with regular condensed cream of mushroom soup. I did so, because I added a bit more flavour with only adding about 5 more calories per serving. I also felt it added the right amount of salt without adding any extra. Finally, I thought the liquid was too thin. So I went ahead and removed the roast and all the veggies. I then put the liquid into a sauce pan and added 2 tablespoons of corn starch with equal amounts of water. On high heat, I mixed until the liquid became thick like gravy. Wow!!! that and the roast along with the veggies was amazing. The veggies were a really great healthy addition. So yummy.
I was worried this might lack flavor but it turned out absolutely fabulous and delicious! I mixed the 2 cans of cream of mushroom with 2 cups of unsalted beef stock, 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, and some pepper. I put the veggies and meat in the crockpot and then poured the mixture over top. I also added about a cup of chopped celery for some extra variety. It was so good I had a hard time keeping myself from getting seconds. I’ll definitely be making this again!
This turned out amazing. I’m only giving it 4 stars because it makes no sense adding the extra things later. Just put it all together in the crock pot and let it do it’s thing! The only thing I did differently was omit the green beans since my family is not a fan, and used only one can of mushroom soup and one can of water. Awesome recipe!
Made this for my family. It was delicious! We ate it all!
Not one person in my family cared for this.
We added garlic cloves and skipped the beans. Cut the potatoes into long quarters, just like my Mom did when I was young, and put everything thing in at once. 8 hours on low and didn’t need a knife to eat it. Will definitely make this again.
absolutely delicious!
Super easy to make. I did not use the cream soup, only beef broth. It turned out to be a lighter version of a pot roast recipe, which is good even in this hot weather.
No.Enjoyed.Very Good.. Like. Lots of Garlic
I made it exactly as the recipe stated excepted I cooked it longer. It came out great and tasty. The kids liked it too. Thanks.
Really like the soup flavor that gives it, delicious
Bland and meat didn’t thoroughly cook on low
I should have reviewed this a long time ago. I found this recipe here about two years ago and have probably made it ten times. My family loves it and the left overs are even great the day after. I use a 32 oz. container of Imagine portobello mushroom creamy soup and I usually dice up two cloves of garlic and mix it in with the onions and soup. This is so easy to make. 10 minutes prep and set the crock pot for 8 hours on low and walk away. A perfect dinner
very good flavor will make it again but I did skip the green beans and doubled the carrots
I used one can of soup, 1 pound of roast, and the same amount of veggies. Just to make it even healthier. Tasted good, though it does need s &p. Normally I leave those out.
Gave 4 stars because I have not yet tried making pot roast this way, but we are a pot roast family and will definitely try it. Just a tip with slow cookers, layer the food for optimum cooking, placing the hardest food items on the bottom and working your way up, potatoes on bottom, carrots on top of the potatoes, then the meat, etc. I also give my slow cooker insert a light spray of cooking spray for easy cleanup. Will try adding a healthy version of Mushroom soup as suggested here, anything with mushroom soup sounds good to me!
My better half and I are trying to eat better and work out this year. Dena found this recipe so we decided to give it a whirl. This was so easy to make. We definitely needed to add salt and pepper to taste.
This turned out very dry.I will not be making this again, sorry.
I love this. People compliment me every time I make it. I honestly didn’t think creme of mushroom soup was any good until I made it in this recipe.
