In response to Felicia's 1 star review-It sounds like you used the ENTIRE House Seasoning recipe (which includes 1 cup of salt when in fact you were only supposed to use just 1 TEASPOON of the house seasoning and save/seal the rest for other recipes.

This Roast is NOT salty if the recipe is followed correctly, in fact there are only 2 tsp of salt for the entire recipe and it is barely used to seal and flavor the outside of the roast before searing it, you really should barely have enough to rub into the roast before cooking. This is a super easy recipe that will give you a flavorful and tender meat. 5 stars all the way!!! my family of 6, sometimes picky eaters, all gobbled this up and left no leftovers for sandwiches the next day!

If you are on a strict low sodium diet, I would even suggest substituting an Onion POWDER (never onion salt for the salt in the recipe and your roast will still come out just as flavorful

I made this recipe for my family. The texture and moistness of the meat was a huge hit, and the gravy was tasty with one huge caveat:

Both the meat and the gravy were way, way too salty. The problem I think is in the rub which has a 3:1 ratio of salt to garlic and pepper. When combined with the cream of mushroom soup the salt content got even higher. I would skip using the house seasoning (or at least modify it in favor of another beef rub.

A good recipe in need of some key modifications.

This was THE best pot roast I've ever had. My grandma used to make it in a pressure cooker on Sundays when I was a wee child. I thought THAT was good, but this is HEAVEN. The aroma during cooking makes your mouth water.
Thanks Paula, you never let me down.

This pot roast was BANGIN!!! I got a 2.88 ib boneless roast. I followed everything but I did use about a 1/2cup of water. I baked in a roasting pan with a lid and let it cook for about 3 hrs. I had a lot of gravy and it was nice and juicy. Thank you Paula because this was my first time cooking a pot roast and I had to do a dance when I took the first bite: I made the pot roast with rice, cabbage (from the Neely's and cornbread

This pot roast was great. I am a 21 year old college guy who just made his first pot roast and it was a success!!!! so easy and fun to make. Delicious!!!!!! it makes a whole lot of gravy too. Use another 1/2 cup of red wine to deglaze the pan after garlic and onions...(Tip: if you don't have cornstarch to make it thick mix equal parts flour and butter in a pan and then add gravy and wisk *ROUX* {learned from foodnetwork!}

Ok, I have skimmed the reviews on this pot roast, and I'm floored that only one person (well, only one out of the 20-30 I read through complained about the salt. SERIOUSLY, DIDN'T ANYONE ELSE FIND THE SALT WAY TOO MUCH. My dog would not even eat it. Seriously, he wouldn't. My daughter spat (not spit but spat out the meat. IT ABSOLUTELY WAS THE WORST TASTING POT ROAST I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE.

This is what I hate about Paula Deen, and I have been to her restaurant in Savannah, and this is how it is with her food. Too much butter, too much salt, and just way too much flavoring of any type of seasoning she recommends. I told my hsuband tonight that Lady & Sons restuarant was not much different than Golden Corral restaurant. He asked why I tried the recipe, and I'm told him that I just typed in pot roast and didn't realize it was a PD recipe. We had to throw out the entire pot roast after ONLY a couple of bites each (oh and one bite by my daughter. We did offer to our dog, but he refused it. Who would like that much salt. I recommend drinking a big glass of sea water instead - it would be LESS salt.

PD is cute and witty, but she can't cook - well, she can, but she cooks seriously with way too much of "one" thing. And what floors me is that people LOVE it. Perhaps this is why people are dying from heart disease.

Anyway, if you read my review, believe me there are better recipes out there for Pot Roast.

Such a simple recipe to follow, and such a delicious roast. Sometimes I use strong coffee instead of water. The gravy is just dandy! Bless you, Paula!

I saw you on a Saturday show 8-1-09 cooking this wonderful pot roast. While you were cooking it my mouth was watering!. I decided to make it Sunday 8-2-09. The only words I could say was "GOOD GOD WOMAN.'' This was the best POT ROAST I HAVE EVER MADE. My quest felt the same way. There was no talking, just the sounds of munching. I can't thank you enough for this recipe. God bless, and keep the wonderful recipes coming.

YUMMY! Mmm....I am not a chef. My husband usually does all the cooking. That being said, I decided to make this pot roast to impress him. IT WORKED! This was so easy, and just delicious! It only took 15 minutes top to prep. Mine was cooked perfectly in 2 and a half hours. I didn't think the gravy was thick enough, so we cooked up some flour, and butter in a skillet, and mixed it together to thicken it up. Add a side of potatoes for the perfect compliment to this roast. It's salty, juicy, and delicious! We will definitely be making it again soon.
