YUMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!! I just fed my husband, brother-in-law and sister. I like the previous writer used a chuck roast instead of the brisket, and made the gravy from the juice. I didn't use mushrooms. Amazing it is going to be made again.

This recipe is delicious! I made just a few alterations based on my family's tastes. I used a 3lb chuck roast instead of brisket and omitted the mushrooms and carrots. Instead, I oven-roasted carrots, parsnips, & red onions. Also, there was a ton of liquid in the slow cooker, far too much for what we needed. I used some for gravy and saved the rest to make French Onion Soup. To make the gravy I did a basic flour-and-water mixture with the liquid instead of the gravy packet {less sodium, and still full of flavor}. Roast took about 4.5 hrs to cook and was perfectly moist & tender. Be sure to preheat the slow cooker before putting the seared meat in. I'll be making this again!

I've got this recipe in my slow cooker again as I type! I love it!! I had never had brisket before this, or used my slow cooker, so it's opened up a whole new world for me. I agree about adding the carrots and mushrooms earlier. Delish!

I found the flavor and aroma to be incredible, as other posters did. But the carrots definitely need to cook longer, and my brisket was not as tender as I like. I will either use a different cut of meat, or use the same ingredients and cook the brisket in my oven lower and slower.

I made this yesterday. I took the previous reviewers advice and I put the carrots and mushrooms in about 2 1/2 hours before I was ready to eat. Even then my carrots were firmer than I like. The aroma in my house was incredible all day, and the flavor was good. I did find the finished product to be somewhat salty, but next time I'll look for a low-sodium slow-cooker seasoning.

This was one of the best "comfort" meals I've ever had! My son also liked it a lot. I made homemade mash potatoes for the gravy and it was amazing!

I started the cooking at 5:30 a.m. because I teach school and have to leave early so I didn't put the carrots and mushrooms in before it finished after 10 hours! The shrooms did fine "warming" for an hour but the carrots didn't get done. But the meat (I used chuck roast and the gravy were fabulous! This is my new favorite pot roast recipe!

I used chuck roast from my freezer for this recipe and it was FANTASTIC! One of the BEST slow cooker roast recipes I've ever made. This is a must try!

Thank you!

I love Sandra wanted to start with that! However the Pot Roast in the crock Pot was not as good as I was hoping. The carrots were not done and needed more time in the pot. The Brisket seemed to be the wrong type of meat for this dish! I think that a chuck roast would of been better. The Brisket was very tough and I followed the recipe to the T! Not sure if this was tested very well before it was released. It was not falling apart at all! I have used several recipes by Sandra and other chefs. I am sorry to say that this was not my favorite. My family did love the fingerling potatoes and we will be making those again. Sorry!

Hi!
More than a comment, I have a question. I have never used a slow cooker before, and would like to know what would be the best size for a slow cooker. To me, they all look kind of small.
