My husband was wanting to replicate a recipe his grandmother used to make. I found this recipe that seemed to match his description. He loved it! We will be making this again. I made only a couple of changes. I browned the meat in a non-stick skillet before putting it in the crockpot, and instead of adding 2 cups of water, I added 1 cup of water and 1 cup of low sodium beef broth. Delicious!

First let me say I do not like roast beef! But this was ok. I made it because my DH is a meat and potatoes man. He absolutely loved it! My DD did too. So, after 30 years of trying to make a roast they would eat, here it is! Thanks, for posting.

I made this recipe on 12/16/09 for mine and SO's dinner. I used the amout of flour called for, but changed how it was used. I took some of the flour and coated meat as the recipe instructed then sprinkled some seasoned salt and pepper over the meat, browned the meat in a bit of shortening before placing in the crockpot. And mixed the remaining flour with both mixes and water, poured over the meat and let the crockpot do it's thing :). After about 7 1/2 hours the roast was done,but the gravy wasn't as thick as we liked it. So, the juices were removed to a saucepan, added a bit of flour, and stirred over a low heat till the right thickness was reached.I served this with mashed potatoes and carrots. This will be made again. Thank you for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) "

This made the kitchen smell great, and it is so easy. Only change I made was to sub dried onion flakes and low-sodium beef bouillon for the onion soup mix. The gravy is delicious!

This was so good. Makes a wonderful, rich, flavorful gravy that hardly tastes as though it came from a couple of packets. Next time I'll double it, especially seeing that I can't resist tasting during the required cooking time. (It could explain why my roast wasn't quite as tender as I would've liked.) But I also may have used a cheaper cut of beef. A definite keeper, though!
