This recipe was easy to make. I used fresh carrots and onions instead of frozen. Will definitely make it again.

Excellent flavors
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe about 3 years ago. At that time, I was working 40 hours a week and helping take care of my mother (she had... alzheimers). So,my week was a 'full plate'. Everyone that has ever tasted it has loved it. Even my very picky 4 year old grandson. One time I decided to let it cook overnite, so I could take some over to my parents. The next day, my husband said that he couldn't sleep that night because it smelled so good. I have since retired, but still use this recipe at least 5 times a year. Now I'm going to Sandra's site for a crockpot pork dinner. I just saw her segment for French Country Pork Chops. Hope it becomes a favorite too!Read more

great but don't omit potatoes without reducing salt
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I wonder if the people who find this recipe too salty (You do have to watch soup and mixes for the sodium!) are omitting the... potatoes from the front end of the recipe. These are giant salt suckers and omitting them from any recipe always means reducing the salt, just as adding them to an oversalted dish can sometimes save it. This recipe should be at the front of everyone's slow cooker cookbook along with the pulled pork and chili recipes. It is, as many of Sandra's recipes, one of the most flexible bases for experimenting (as you can tell from all of the folks who fiddled with it. Since my wife must watch her sodium, I usually make it wth carmelized onions- made in the pan after the roast is browned- and low sodiuim beef stock, leaving the onion soup mix out altogether. We usually like it with mashed potatoes, so we don't have to make the broth extra salty for the new potatoes, but it is great both ways. A fantastic set and forget meal to cook low and slow while you're gone for the day!Read more

Taste great and easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have had this pot roast several times and it gets better and better. I have 3 nephews and 1 niece and they wouldn't eat... prime rib if it was placed in front of them but they love this roast. I add chopped celery, garlic, and some ground cumin for more depth of flavor. I serve the carrots on the side and reserve the broth, place it in a pan add a little more beef stock along with corn starch and it makes a wonder gravy to serve over the roast and mashed potatoes. Serve with another vegetable of your choice and warm biscuits and, WoW what a meal.Read more

This my new favorite!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made the recipe twice this month. I used fresh carrots instead of frozen. The first time around I used cream of... celery, but the 2nd time I used cream of chicken and mushroom. Both times were great. Meat comes out softer if you cook it on the lower setting for more hours. I normallt do not cook with a lot of salt, and I didnt think this was too salty at all.Read more

Easy and Great!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My family used to be afraid of my pot roast. Not anymore with this delicious recipe! It's so easy. Like other viewers, I... made a few changes. I used water instead of beef broth and had to use cream of mushroom instead of cream of celery soup. Also, I didn't have A1, so I used Worchester sauce. It was plenty salty. Also, I used fresh veggies instead of frozen. It was delicious and the gravy was amazing! Even my picky kids had seconds!Read more
