Not My Mom's Pot Roast

My title is no disrespect to my Mom, she is an amazing cook and taught me most of what I know about cooking and baking. But when I got married, I knew I needed to cook a roast, and I was nervous to make gravy and  make it the way my Mom always had. So I went to the Internet to find a new recipe. At this time, really the only cooking website to go to was All Recipes, so I went there and found this recipe and it was the top rated roast recipe. I tried it once and knew why it was the top rated! I have never made roast another way, honestly, it is THAT good. The roast just falls apart and is so moist and tender the gravy is already made and is in the pan and it is super yummy!! This is my 6 year old favorite meal, at least the potatoes and gravy part of it anyway.




Funny thing about this picture,  I knew I wanted to take a picture to post this recipe, but I forgot to take a picture before we ate....so this is my husband's plate, on his second helping, so again I apologize for my bad picture.

Pot Roast
Print Recipe
2 cans of Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 (1oz) package of dry onion soup mix (I use Lipton Onion Soup)
1 1/4 cups water
5 1/2 pounds pot roast

Mix soup, dry onion soup mix, and water in a bowl.
Brown roast on all sides in a hot pot on the stove top.
Pour soup mixture over roast.
Cover pot with lid and put in a 300 degree oven for 3-4 hours. Roast should cut/shred easily.
Serve with mashed potatoes and the gravy from the soup mix in the pot. If the gravy is too thick for your taste, thin down with a little bit of milk.
