I had a 3 lb. roast that I cut into 2" inch chunks and I covered the chunks with flour and salt and pepper. Then I browned in the pressure cooker. I literally dumped all of the other ingredients on top of the meat chunks. I pressure cooked at 15 lbs pressure for 20 minutes. Let it cool down for about 10 minutes and carefully let the pressure off in increments. This is a "jewel" of a recipe. I will prepare again and again. I think I will add shredded carrots on top of the rest ingredients next time. Great on noodles, rice, potatoes or toast. I am using my pressure cooker quite a bit, both of my ovens went out at the same time!

Stunned to see a recipe calling for cans of soup and envelopes of mixes in this day and age. moving on....

Wow, so incredibly delicious, and so easy -- even I was successful! I just purchased my pressure cooker that evening and wanted to prepare something that didn't require a lot of steps and was fast... Found this receipe and it was so easy - I just put the stuff in, set the machine at "meat" and Wah-Lah! A delicious meal and that lasted a couple of days. The meat might even be better the next day.... And the gravy is delicious. Other days I added pasta, spinach and mushrooms to the meat and the delicious sauce "left overs" which is delicious. Gonna make this again, only three days later. Relish!

This recipe is very delicious and easy to follow. As a variation I added 2 tablespoons of red Thai curry which "tricked" it up, as my grandmother would say. I can think of various vegetables that I'll add next time.

My family loves this recipe. I used to do it the slow cooker, but love the consistency, flavor and speed that the pressure cooker offers.<br/><br/>I usually thicken the gravy afterwards with a little corn starch. Otherwise it's perfect!
