I just got back from vacation with my family and found this recipe to use up a roast I had in the freezer. This recipe is made with items you have right in your pantry. If you don't have French onion soup, just mix up Lipton Dry Onion Soup. I placed everything in my crockpot starting with the vegetables, beef, and then poured the gravy mixture over the top. Cooked it on low for 8 hours and the meat was very tender and the vegetables had a great flavor. Thanks for posting.

I had a friend who gave me a similar recipe, except you cut the roast into chunks, and you cook for 4 hours. I made it the other day, and used a can of beef broth in place of the water, and I was amazed at how delicious the roast turned out. My husband ate half of the roast in one sitting. Thanks for giving the hint about browning with flower too :)

I also made this recipe in the crockpot, reducing the water to 1/2 cup. I did not add the vegetables, instead, I prepared them separately on the stovetop. The roast was moist and flavorful and the gravy was perfect after adding 1/4 cup flour mixed with water to thicken. Thank you for a wonderful supper!
