  • Pour second can of golden mushroom soup over pork roast.

Reviews

  1. My husband loved this and so did I!!I did have to make some changes. Used a 5 lb. boneless leg and decided we couldn't take all the sodium, that's an awful lot of soup and sodium 58%!! so-- I cut out the seasoning salt and the other salt and only used 2 cans of soup,1 golden and 1 cream of mushroom. It was plenty, way more than needed, so I can't imagine it with 4 cans! Even with just 2 cans it tasted a little salty to me. Also added 4 garlic cloves smashed in with the mushrooms. All in all it was a wonderful roast with lots of leftovers, enough gravy for tomorrow and more to freeze for future use. Thanks Mark for a really great taste!!
     
  2. This pork was absolutely excellent! I cooked it at Low for 7 hours (I had a 4 lb boneless pork loin roast), which resulted in a perfectly done roast that was very tender, yet could still be cut into nice slices without falling apart. I fished out the mushrooms and served them as a vegetable, then poured the sauce into a pan to thicken it. It was a tad salty (to my tastes) so I added two big soup ladles of water before thickening. The result: wonderul gravy! The meat and gravy suited my family's tastes very well and the recipe was quite easy to put together. It's a definite keeper. Thanks, Mark!
     
  3. I cooked this pork roast for my family last night and found it to be quite moist and flavorful! I too only used only two cans of the mushroom soup and eliminated the chili powder and found this to be plenty. I thickened the gravy with flour and a little water and found it to be perfect for the roast and mashed potatoes. Great recipe! Definitely a keeper!
     
  4. What an easy way to prepare such a delicious roast. It was excellent and my family really enjoyed it. I used the two cans of mushroom soups and the can of beef consomme and next time will also add an onion to the gravy mixture. Otherwise I followed the directions as written. Thank you for sharing a great recipe.
     
  5. Can't add much to what has been said. I cut this in half and added a chopped onion for flavour. I have a 5 quart crockpot and the half recipe filled it. The excess sauce will be great for a hot sandwich and on some rice as well. Well worth making. Thanks.

Tweaks

  1. How bizarre, exactly a year later and I'm making this roast again tmw morning, I had remembered it was delicious and took a bit to find this recipe. Thanks again for your post
     
  2. Oh my goodness! I cut up potatoes and put them in the crock pot, sprinkled some seasoning on them, then mixed together 1 can golden mushroom, 1 can cream of mushroom, 1 can french onion soup & 1 envelope onion soup mix, diluted it with maybe 3/4 soup can of water....I used Creole seasoning instead of the chili powder, and browned the roast in olive oil before putting on top of potatoes then pouring soup mixture over all. This is AWESOME!!!
     
  3. This was just wonderful!!! I did tweak it a bit after reading many of the reviews. I did omit the chili powder and used low-sodium chicken broth instead of the beef consomme. Otherwise, I would NOT change a thing. I served with mashed potatoes that I purposely under-salted and they balanced out perfectly. This is a wonderful recipe and I know I will make this again and often!! Thanks for posting!
     
  4. I made this tonight with a 3# pork loin. Very tasty! I omitted the chili powder & seasoned salt, and instead of all the canned soups I used the equivalent of 2 cans (using recipe #55408) of condensed cream of soup. I used a 3qt crockpot, first browned the roast in coconut oil, then cooked on high for 4.5 hrs then low for 1 hr. Super moist, fork tender, it was hard to stop eating it! Even with reducing the liquids in the recipe, I still had at least 4c of sauce. That might have been caused by substituting out the mystery soup. :) I will definitely make this again!
     
  5. I have to admit a mistake in the beginning of this review. I used a beef roast instead of pork! Only realized it when I came to rate the recipe. Mark, I apologize for that, however, I would do it again! Using a BEEF roast, I followed the recipe as instructed and it was wonderful! I often wondered why my roasts were not flavorful and it was because I was afraid to use seasonings other than salt and pepper. Well, I fear no longer, this is the recipe to follow. I really will try this soon with a PORK roast! DH commented on how good this was and the gravy will be just delicious on open faced sandwiches made from the leftovers! Thanks Mark Hendricks!
