Love this recipe! It makes plenty for meal prep and freezes well. It’s a hit at our house! A++
How I make this. I use ranch seasoning packet instead of a soup packet. I use beef consumé as well as a beef broth instead of water. Chop onions, mushrooms, carrots, potatoes & garlic. Salt pepper to taste. You can do it the posters way if you want a very flavorless meal. But my way has people flocking for seconds.
I followed the recipe. However, I added more flavor due to comments saying it was “bland”. I added 1/2 cup of horseradish on top of the meat. I also made sure to use beef broth instead of water as verbaly stated in the video. I marinated the meet in my favorite steak seasoning for a few hours instead of using plain salt and pepper. It’s not bland. 🙂
Amazing just the way it is. It tastes better than a restaurant. My family and I LOVE this recipe. Thanks so much for sharing.
Delicious and easy. I used beef broth instead if water, like in the video. I also added a can of mushrooms. I didn’t put the carrots and potatoes in until 3 hrs were left. We don’t like mushy potatoes. 9 hrs total. When it was done, i removed the meat and veggies, then I poured the juice into a pot and thickened it with cornstarch and water for a perfect gravy. Yum
Made this just as written (but used beef stock in place of the water, as shown in the video). My husband is a die hard pot roast fan and he raved about this. The second time I made it, I put a few extra chopped onions in the slow cooker and omitted the potatoes (he prefers his potatoes mashed!). This is a winner either way.
Ingredients call for 1 cup of water, but video shows brown liquid being added, not plain water! I was going to try the recipe, but now am wondering what that 1 cup of “water” really should be.
My go to from now on. Perfectly tender. I did add veggies two hours before end time and they came out perfect. Hubby loved it too!
It was the best that I ever had, my husband loved it, my daughter loved it, I definitely will make this again.
This recipe was great! We like to have the “juice” so instead of 1 cup of water, we used 2 cups of water with 2 tsp Better Than Bouillon Beef Base added to it to make a richer liquid. My son loves the Pot Roast at a local restaurant and said this tasted exactly like it. It’s a winner in our household!
A few years ago I was looking for an easy pot roast recipe, & came across this. This has been my go to slow cooker pot roast ever since. I serve it at least once a month, & quite often serve it when we’re having dinner guests. This has ALWAYS been a tremendous hit, & I have been asked for the recipe many many times. Absolutely delicious. Perfection.
Even using inexpensive and tough cuts this came out very tender and delicious, I did substitute beef broth for the water. Very easy recipe that the family loved and budget friendly to boot
Greetings. I used fearevilchickens’ tips adjustments and it came out fantastically delicious! Thank you!
Ive made this recipe more times then I can count I love it and so does my family I just recommend adding your carrots celery and potatoes a little later so they don’t turn to mush from sitting so long
Everything from the sear to the final presentation. Excellent
I made it with no potatoes in it. I made mashed on the side. Excellent flavor
Great recipe! I made sure to season my meat, wrap it up in Saran Wrap and then seat all sides before cooking. I cut my veggies in large cuts so they would not be mushie. Tasted before serving. I would rather have a recipe that’s lower in salt that I can add than a recipe with too much. This is an entire meal on a plate.
Super easy. Made it for my wife and myself. We didn’t have the dry onion soup mix and substituted a can of Campbell’s onion soup instead.
This is a wonderful crockpot recipe. I would add a little wine and seasonings of choice to taste. I’m fond of worchester sauce too. Adding vegetables later for more firmness is another option. That’s the beauty of a recipe like this.
I can tell you from experience. Do NOT add your veggies right away. They will come out mushy. Cook your roast for half the time recommended then add the vegetables. Also , check your roast for doneness before the recommended time . Eight hours is usually too long.
my second time cooking this. very yummy.
