This was the 1st meal I cooked for a guy I was dating in college 50 years ago. After supper, He said he was going to marry me! I laughed at him. He passed away 10 years ago, but he is still the love of my life. When ever I make this roast I think of him.

In reply to Sarah. Just throw it in there. It will dissolve with the soups as it heats up. :)

Do you dissolve the bouillon cube first – beforehand? Or just put it in the crockpot as is?

Years ago I made this same recipe—but using the oven—-It was the first meal I cooked for my then boyfriend. After one taste, he asked me to marry him! I never made it in a crock pot, but can’t wait to try it! Sadly my husband has passed away, but I still have great memories.

In reply to Julie. No you dont need to dissolve the bullion. It dissolves in with the soups. I promise it is delicious!

How do you make sure the bouillon Cube gets dissolved and mixed equally around in the soup mixture? Looks good but hesitant to make seems like it would need some type of liquid

In reply to Heather. Heather, yes, I have cooked this same roast with potatoes and carrots. You can add a 1/2 cup water to it!

I make mine almost the same way but I cook it with my potatoes and carrots. Do you ever do this? I also usually put 1 cup of water. Do you think it would cook the potatoes and carrots ok if I omit the water and use what you have?

I made this for the first time and it was delicious! The roast was perfect! I was reluctant to try this recipe because I do not like mushrooms. I read the reviews and decided to try it. I used Cream of Potato soup in place of the Mushroom Soup and I used Liptons Beefy Onion Soup. It was perfect! The roast was tender and moist and we loved it.

Just made this today..cooked on high for only 6 hours and that was way too long for the meat, unless you enjoy eating leather! The flavoring was perfect, however, I did not put my vegetables, carrots, onions, celery and potatoes in until 2 hrs before it was due to be done, and they were perfect, and I added just a little cornstarch to thicken stew. In my opinion, I would only cook meat on high 3 to 4 hours, adding veggies for the the last 2 hours!

In reply to Bre. Bre, Keep the cooking time the same when adding diced carrots and potatoes, and I would put those on top of the roast. Hope you enjoy this recipe. :)

I’m new to using a crock pot. Have you made this with potatoes and carrots? Would I change the cooking time at all if I added those? Would you advise me to put the carrots and potatoes below the meat or on top? Thanks! 🙂

Pot roast is one of our most favorite meals. I have been making a very similar recipe to yours for years but I use Campbells Beefy Mushroom soup. I also add carrots & potatoes to make a complete meal. I like another’s suggestion to use the beefy onion dry soup. Will purchase that next time I make this. Thanks
