This is the only way I'll do pot roast, and I've tried many over the years. Talk about the perfect comfort food! I usually make mashed potatoes, dumplings or egg noodles to go with this and smother all in the delicious gravy.
Ingredients:
3 -5 lbs chuck roast
1 medium onion, peeled and sliced
1 -2 lb carrot, peeled (if thin, leave whole, if chunky, cut in half)
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix, divided
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder (from soup envelope)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions:
1. Put 2 tablespoons water in bottom of crock pot.
2. Place carrots in crock pot.
3. Combine paprika, onion soup powder, garlic powder and pepper (making a dry rub).
4. Rub into roast, coating all sides.
5. Place roast in cooker.
6. Sprinkle 1/2 of the remaining soup mix over roast.
7. Layer sliced onions on top.
8. Sprinkle with remaining soup mix.
9. Spoon cream soup over top.
10. Cook low 8 to 10 hours.
