Simple and good. I used a cross rib roast and it worked well. I added a bit of liquid smoke as well. Sauce was great over mashed potatoes and some left over for rice later.

Wonderful! The only change I made was I used a round roast, and portabella mushrooms since the grocery store did not have shiitake. I will make again, and thanks for sharing.

Outstanding!! A true keeper. I didn't add the water because with the other liquid it wasn't necessary. With crockpot cooking, it creates its own liquid. Thanks for a posting.

This was fantastic! The sauce was delicious, and very easy to prepare. I doubled the gravy and there was none left. I served it with egg noodles, and used fresh shiitakes as that was all they had at the store. A definite keeper, my husband said that it was by far the best roast he has ever eaten, and he has eaten A LOT of roasts :) Thanks for the superb recipe that will become a regular dish in my house!

A great friend made this for us one evening--his very first pot roast, and we all loved it! I think the flavor is divine. I have tried different cuts of meat and each has worked beautifully. I was about to post this one myself--thanks for saving me the trouble. My family gives it high praise!
