Delicious, but needs more liquid to start -- at least half the soup can of water. Probably also cover with foil for part of cooking time. I used 5-lb meat and after 2hrs, there was no way to "drain off fat" and barely enough sauce even to spread over all the meat. BTW: I used cream of celery because that's what I had!

This was served to my family with rave reviews. The recipe was so easy to make and the taste was delicious. I was really skeptical about using the can of cream of chicken, but we couldn't even taste it when I served the roast. I took your advice and served the sandwiches with a hash brown casserole and salad. Totally yummy! Thanks for a great recipe!!
