Toss It in the Crock Pot and Go Roast
"I threw this in the crock pot one morning 20 minutes before I had to go to work. My husband asked what I was making and I said that I didn't know, I was just tossing stuff in! (I was looking for a way to use up some London Broils that were in the freezer.) My family loved it so much, that it is now a cold weather standard. (In the warmer weather, I use the London Broils to marinate and grill.)"
- Ready In:
- 6hrs 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 2 1⁄2 lbs top round london broil beef
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can cream of chicken soup, undiluted (or any cream soup)
- 1 teaspoon beef base (I use a paste, but I am sure bouillon would work)
- 1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope onion soup mix
- 1⁄2 - 1 lb baby carrots
- 6 medium potatoes, unpeeled and quartered
- 1 onion, peeled and quartered
directions
- Toss onions, potatoes and then carrots into crock pot.
- Lay meat on top of that (may have to smoosh it in a little).
- Pour on the soup, soup mix and dab the base on top.
- Turn the meat over and then over again, so that some of the soup goes underneath the meat, but some is still coating it.
- Sprinkle with black pepper.
- Cook on low for about 6 hours or so.
- I have made this a few times and have never had to add water-- the soups and meat juices make a lovely thick gravy.
- I make this in a 6 1/2 quart Rival Slow Cooker-- I know it cooks faster than smaller pots.

Made this in a smaller crockpot and cooked it longer, lovely taste and not too salty or too soupy, just like you said, a nice thick gravy! Next time I will cut the potatoes smaller because they were still a bit hard, I think that has to do with the crockpot size again. -
I thought I would give this a try, and it turned out wonderful! Everyone loved it. The only thing I did different from the recipe was add mushrooms. This is an absolute keeper. -
This was WONDERFUL! So easy and so flavorful. I didn't change the recipe at bit, except to use the option of bouillon instead of the beef paste. My husband and family LOVED it! My husband requested to have it for dinner again this evening (we still have some leftovers - I used a big roast)! Thanks so much for sharing this one! -
I have made this over and over again ~ I do not add the carrots and potatoes just the roast and gravy ingredients. My family absolutely LOVES this roast. Serve with Mashed Potatoes and Corn, the gravy is wonderful! Not too salty

Please keep an eye out for my recipe, called "I stole Karen's Toss it in the crock pot and go roast. In memory of Clyde." If may take a couple of days for it to be processed. You might like it also.

This is a great recipe. I used new potatoes instead of regular. The gravy it makes is delicious and you do not need to add any water. Next time I would use a pot roast instead of a london broil. The meat was a little tough. -
This dish was awesome. Very tasty. My husband and sons thought it was very delicious. I used bouillon instead of beef base but I didn't change anything else. I will definitely be making this again. Thank you for posting!

<p>I live in Pa (outside of Philadelphia) and cooking, baking, cross-stitching and reading are my hobbies. <br /> <br />I collect cookbooks and cookie stamps/cutters and have a pretty big collection of both. I am also a fan of all things Amish, so I have quite a collection of things picked up in Reading, Lancaster and surrounding areas here in Pennsylvania. <br /> <br />I have 4 kids, who are the loves of my life and cooking for them and my husband keeps me on my toes! ;) <br /> <br />We bought an ice cream parlor in March 04 and it's been quite an experience! <br /> <br />Note: I love getting feedback on my recipes; all I ask is that you actually *make* them before reviewing them. <br /> <br />Also, if you make changes or substitutions, I'd love to see your suggestions and/or comments, but I'd appreciate no rating at all if it's not made as posted. Too many recipe reviews state margarine subbed for butter (if I list butter, it's REAL butter), different spices, low-fat ingredients, whole wheat flour instead of white, etc. The recipes will not work/taste as intended, so it's really not fair to rate them as such. <br /> <br />I'd also really appreciate it if you refrain from rating a recipe if you overcook or overbake it or it you don't refrigerate or store as listed. <br /> <br />I, of course, will adhere to the above when rating recipes, too! <br /> <br />Thanks and have a great day! <br /> <br />My Rating System: <br /> <br />***** A delicious recipe that was thoroughly enjoyed. It has excellent, detailed directions and is perfect as is. If a dish is especially easy, and I'm on the fence, I will give it 5* for ease even if it's very good instead of great. Something I will definitely make again. <br /> <br />**** Excellent recipe but confusing directions that I will make again in my own less confusing way OR Very good recipe that I'll probably make again if I find the time! <br /> <br />*** Good/OK recipe but probably not something I would make again OR Very Good recipe that doesn't have clear, detailed directions. <br /> <br />** Recipe was edible but not really enjoyed and will not be made again. Work involved not a good trade-off for the end result. <br /> <br />* Not edible and probably an error in the recipe. I feel that I pick recipes with ingredients our family likes, so in my opinion, there's an error somewhere. If there's a chance I made the error, I won't rate the recipe. ;) <br /> <br /><img src=http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/lauralie41/swapbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><a href=http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/?action=view&current=cookieswapparticip.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/cookieswapparticip.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/honey-pot-print-c10069558.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><a href=http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/?action=view&current=09holidayparticipationbanner.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/09holidayparticipationbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a></p>
