  • “I used a 3.5lb tip roast, substitued yellow onions cut into wedges, left out the celery.Put the potatos on the bottom, roast over the taters and onions on top.Rubbed the onion soup mix all over the roast before placing in the pot.Very good.My stepdaughter REQUESTED leftovers of this the following evening.That’s a first in this house.Thanks!!”

  • “Very good roast.I used a two and a half pound eye of round roast, added a little salt and pepper and the flour to thicken the gravy. Cooking time was 9 hours in my crockpot. Can’t wait for a sandwich from the left overs.”

  • “Incredible!You made a pot roast lover out of my husband!He is actually looking forward to sandwiches tomorrow with the leftovers!Previously, I’ve only found one recipe that he’ll eat and it’s on the stove, so to have one that i can throw in the crockpot is a blessing!He rated it 4 stars.Thank you!”

  • “Was not impressed..It was very bland.”

  • “This was very delicious and super fast to whip up when you have a ton of things to do in the day. I always wanted to know how to cook pot roast and now I’m not scared to prepare it. I used to be under the impression that it took lots of hard work because it’s so good!!! You can’t go wrong with this recipe it’s cooking for dummies proof! Will be making this again.”

  • “Very easy to fix and delicious to eat.I’ll keep this recipe as one of my favorite crockpot meals to fix in a hurry.It only took me 20 minutes to put it all together counting my peeling potato time and preparing veggies.I may make some egg noodles to have with it next time.YUM.”

  • “Being a single parent, I am always looking for new, tasty meals that I know that my 12 year old will eat.I wasn’t sure about trying to make a pot roast since I had never made something like this before, I usually stick to simple easy things that I know I can’t mess up.This was easier than most of the things I’ve attempted in the past and the daughter LOVED it.I couldn’t keep from stealing nibbles throughout the day because the smell was amazing!I added a couple quartered onions along with the potatoes and carrots and left the celery out as we tend to enjoy onion over celery. The meat was so tender that I had a hard time keeping it together when I pulled it out of the cooker.Also, instead of flour to thicken the gravy, I used a bit of corn starch, salt and pepper.I will def be making this again in the future.Thank you so much for such an easy meal.”

  • “Delicious and easy to make pot roast. I substituted my homemade onion soup mix recipe #110331 for the soup mix. Instead of plain water I used potato water, drained and saved from making mashed potatoes the other day, and whisked in 2 or 3 tablespoons of flour to thicken the gravy as suggested.”

  • “This was a nice, easy dinner.Our family enjoyed it and it was great to walk in after a long day and have dinner done already.Thanks!”

  • “This was the best pot roast ever!I used a packet of dry french onion soup mix and I used quartered onions in place of celery.My DH said it was just as good as his grandma used to make:)Thanks for a great recipe this is the only way we will make pot roast again!”

  • “Very easy and yummy recipe!I didn’t add the celery, but I did add 3-4 small onions (quartered) and 1-2 cloves of garlic (chopped and inserted into the roast itself).Turns out great everytime and makes great leftovers (if you have any)!”
