Roast Beef and Gravy

By Addie

"This is by far the simplest way to make roast beef and gravy," assures Abby Metzger of Larchwood, Iowa. "On busy days, I can put this main dish in the slow cooker and forget about it. My family likes it with mashed potatoes and fruit salad."

Ingredients

• 1 boneless beef chuck roast (3 pounds)
• 2 cans (10-3/4 ounces each) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
• 1/3 cup sherry or beef broth
• 1 envelope onion soup mix

Preparation

Step 1

Cut roast in half; place in a 3-qt. slow cooker. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; pour over roast.

Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until meat is tender. Yield: 8-10 servings.

I use golden mushroom soup for my crock pot roast. :)

This will be a regular!

This is super easy and makes a great roast and gravy for little effort. I put this in the slow cooker and had to go to a meeting, but according to my husband, the kids loved it and they didn't leave hardly any for me when I got back!!! Definitely a keeper and I will be making again.

I, too, braised the roast before placing in the crock pot. I used extra beef broth, half a packet of onion soup, added garlic salt and thickened the gravy with cornstarch. Tasty result!

Absolutely the BEST and EASIEST dish to make, hands down.

I got a late start in putting it in the crock pot; having only six hours to cook it. To offset my timing, I cooked it on HIGH the entire time. It was very tender when I was ready to serve it.

Will definitely be making this again. I used beef broth, as someone suggested, instead of water and beef bullion. I also braised the meat w/ salt and pepper on a hot pan before adding it to the slow cooker, to make it more flavorful. Good one!

Yummy, easy, well-received at my Christmas party dinner.

Easy, tasty, tender roast beef dinner!

I've made this many times. DH does not like onion soup so I usually sub an envelope of beef gravy mix for the onion soup mix (adding some dried onion to the broth mixture). Can also use a jar of beef or mushroom gravy instead of one can of soup, can add a can of mushroom pieces too. I peel carrots and potatoes, pierce the potatoes with a knife, and place them on TOP of the meat while it cooks, they get done perfectly.

Very good, traditional roast. Nothing spectacular but a very good recipe. Very easy to make.

Excellent flavor and easy.

This tasted great, although I added a little cornstarch at the end to thicken up the gravy a little bit.

I have to agree, it couldn't be much easier to have roast beef and gravy.

This was soooo yummy and so easy to make. I will definitely make this again. Leftovers are great, over bread.

These were so good that even my picky kids and husband rated it A+. It also made great gravy.

It's easy and very tasty. Just wish I know about adding potatoes and carrots.

Best recipe for roast beef EVER!!!!

I have made this so many times I've lost count. I don't always have the sherry or beef broth and it still comes out with enough gravy. Sometimes I'll even add a bit of red wine, that is a nice addition.

My family loves this recipe and it's so easy & delicious. It is good with potatoes, noodles, or rice. It doesn't matter if you're a bit late from work, as it seems to only improve with a little more cooking time. Makes great leftovers and my dogs also love it! I made this from Quick Cooking over 10 years ago, and it's my main recipe for roast beef. It's also in the 5 ingredient recipe cookbook, which is excellent!

Not the healthest, but OOHHHHHHHH soooo good and we've never had left overs!

I have used this recipe for years, except that I use the Golden Mushroom soup. This is a long time family favorite.
