Review:
This was tasty but I prefer the creamy mushroom pot roast recipe to this one. I love the flavoring of cream of mushroom soup. It’s so nice to have the veggies and meat done in one pot. Easy clean up! 3 stars.

Oh, thought I would add that when it is done cooking that the gravy is very runny as liquids tend to be cooked in a slow cooker. So I took out the meat and covered it in foil to keep it warm until I could cut it up, then I put the gravy and veggies on the stove top. (My slow cooker sits right on the cooker part and so I can put that right on my stove top, but if yours doesn't then you could probably transfer to a pot.) Then in a bowl I mix a little corn starch with some water and then add that into my gravy and veggies. Cook until bubbly and the gravy thickens up. I like my gravy to be a little more thick then what will happen in a slow cooker.
Yeah, my slow cooker pot roast is a combination of the two that you did. I brown my roast in a fraying pan in some seasonings and meat tenderizer to seal in the juices. I then put it in the slow cooker and add cut up potatoes, carrots, and onions. Then in a bowl I mix up cream of mushroom soup and a packet of onion soup mix and pour that all over the top. Then cook the usual amount of time. We love it!!!
