  1. Excellent!!! This smelled so good while cooking. I was leery about the soup combo but it produced an amazing gravy and I didn't find it to be salty at all. I served this over mashed potatoes and will be using the leftovers today for open-faced sandwiches. Next time I plan on adding carrots, potatoes, celery, and mushrooms.
     
  2. I do something very similar but double up the soup (only the golden mushroom and french onion) and combine it with 3/4 (give or take) fresh grated parmigiano reggiano after the meat has finished cooking in the soups to make the gravy. It sounds weird as heck both ways but makes an interesting combination that you think wouldnt work.
     
  3. I can't believe all of these canned soups ended up as a really good Pot Roast, a nice surprise. I had a really ugly Chuck Roast that I kept pushing back in the freezer and I used for this recipe.<br/>Ugly Chuck Roast, you were delicious.
     
  4. Absolutely delicious and so easy to make! The best pot roast I've made and I love that it is in a crock pot! We actually had someone comment of on the yummy smell coming out of our house when they knocked on our door instead of our neighbor's by accident. I will definitely move this recipe into our regular line up. Much more tasty than the top rated slow cooker pot roast on this forum.<br/><br/>UPDATE: Use the soups listed! My husband brought home beef consomme instead of french onion soup and the resulting taste was much less flavorful. We learned our lesson. Don't mess with what works!
     
  5. We've made this several times and Love it! Have a crock pot going now and can't wait. Will serve with mashed and green beans with garlic. <br/>I now use the same gravy when making shepards pie and it has Never failed me!! As a matter of fact, before this I was asked to never make shepards pie again because my last one was so terrible (and I hold my own in the kitchen). Now it's back on rotation. Thanks!!

  2. Easy, tasty, simple to find ingredients...what a combo. We used stewing beef instead of a roast because of the cost, and onion soup from a dry mix. There were an initial 8 servings then we froze the leftovers. The gravy was fabulous!
