This is really good! I didn't use the slow cooker tho as I got a late start to the day, but baked in the oven at 350* for a few hours instead. Using the mushroom/onion soup mix, I added about a half to 3/4 cup of water to the roasting pan before putting in the oven and it cooked up beautifully. The drippings made an excellent gravy, which I thickened up with just a bit of cornstarch and water. The meat was fork tender and delicious. Thanks for posting, next time I'll try the slow cooker! :)

Nice flavour! I added 1/2 C water as I always put water in the crock pot to be sure I get alot of gravy. Had I not done this, I think there would not have been enough drippings to make gravy. I used about 3/4 of the pkg of soup mix too just a personal preference as I find it salty. Will make this again. Thx Carrol

This beef has the most amazing flavour. Imust admit I amnot a fan of raost beef, I always find it dry, but when I tried this receipe in my ne slow cooker, god it was delicious, and the smells in the house, yummy! I was a bit concerned about the roast burning so put half a cup of water in to slow cooker, other then that followed the receipe. Thanks so much, 3 hours on HIGH was enough for us. Will definently do again.
