Slow-Cooker Roast and Gravy

Submitted by Bev I Am

"This recipe is from the January 2007 edition of Southern Living Magazine. Southern Living suggests not lifting the lid while cooking your roast. Heat is lost when the lid is opened, resulting in an additional 20-30 minutes of cooking time."

I've already made this twice since I found the recipe. Everyone loved it. It makes the best gravy ever. I used Lipton Beefy Onion Soup Mix and I used regular cream of mushroom soup so I added two cloves of garlic, split. I thickened the gravy in a saucepan with cornstarch. Love it!

Thank you Bev for the great roast recipe, my family LOVED this! This was my first roast making adventure and it turned out great. I used an onion gravy mix instead of the mushroom onion soup mix (because that was what I had) and added some chopped garlic because my cream of mushroom soup didn't have any already in it. This will be a staple recipe in my kitchen from now on! I served this with Recipe#69225 and it was a wonderful addition, thanks again!

It's rainy and cold here today, so I decided to make a roast in the crock pot. This came out wonderfully tender and delicious. I used the low sodium soup and broth and you wouldn't know the difference. I also added 1/4 c. red wine, and also cut an onion in half and threw in 2 tsp. jarred garlic, and cooked it along with the roast. Excellent flavor. We are all looking forward to having this roast many more times.

My family LOVED this roast! I made it exactly as written except that the soup mix I had on hand was just onion (no mushroom). I added some chopped fresh mushrooms to the liquid mixture. My roast came out tender and tasty and the gravy was delicious. Thanks for posting this recipe Bev....I'll be making this again and won't change a thing.

Wow ~ we LOVED this recipe! It was super easy to put together. The roast came out tender and delicious and the gravy really made the meal. I served with mashed potatoes and a green veggie and it was a fabulous dinner. Thanks so much for posting a keeper!
