I made this yesterday for dinner (and had leftovers today for lunch). It was pretty yummy both times. I got the recipe from allrecipes.com but of course made some adjustments.
Original recipe:
INGREDIENTS
* 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
* 1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
* 1 1/4 cups water
* 5 1/2 pounds pot roast
DIRECTIONS
1. In a slow cooker, mix cream of mushroom soup, dry onion soup mix and water. Place pot roast in slow cooker and coat with soup mixture.
2. Cook on High setting for 3 to 4 hours, or on Low setting for 8 to 9 hours.
INGREDIENTS
* 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
* 1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
* 3/4 cups water
* 3 pound pot roast
* 1/2 lb of baby carrots
*1/2 onion cut into thirds
*halved baby potatoes (because that’s what I had, cubed potatoes would work too)
*sliced mushrooms (because that’s what I had, whole would work too)
DIRECTIONS
1. In a separate bowl, mix cream of mushroom soup, dry onion soup mix and water.
2. Layer potatoes, onions, mushrooms and baby carrots in bottom of slow cooker. Put roast on top of veggies. Pour soup mixture over top of roast. Cover.
2. Cook on High setting for 3 to 4 hours, or on Low setting for 8 to 9 hours. (I cooked mine on High for 3 hours and then switched it to low for the last three)
I only checked it once, and spooned some gravy over the top of the roast, but if you needed to leave this unattended for the whole time, that wouldn’t be a problem at all. This makes its own gravy and is very tasty. The roast was tender and pulled apart easily. Yum! I’ll definitely use this recipe again.
I’ve noticed that you post recipes that you enjoy from time to time, so here’s a couple of really good recipes that even my toddler loves eating that you might enjoy:
Cheesy Taco Stuffed French Bread
1 lb. ground beef
1 package taco seasoning
1 can nacho cheese soup
2 C. shredded Cheddar cheese
1 loaf firm French bread (Bakery reduced racks are great for this)
- Brown ground beef and drain all fat. Cut off just the top of the French bread and pull out inside of loaf, making a shell of about 1 inch thick. While your ground beef is still warm, stir in taco seasoning, cheese soup and bread crumbs.
- Pour this mixture into loaf shell and spread evenly. Cover with Cheddar cheese and put top of bread loaf back on.
- Wrap this in foil and bake at 350°F. for approximately 20 minutes. Take out and slice for individual servings.
* We enjoy the taco meat this way so much that we always include a can of nacho cheese soup to our regular taco mix. There’s also some southwestern variety cheese soups that can be used for a spicier flavor.
Guy Approved Meatloaf
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
2 eggs
1 onion, chopped
½ cup barbecue sauce
¾ cup crushed crackers
1 cup crushed potato chips
¾ teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring (We never have this, so I omit it)
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the beef, eggs, onion, barbecue sauce, cracker crumbs, potato chips, liquid smoke, ground black pepper, salt, garlic powder and cayenne pepper and mix well. On a lightly greased cookie sheet, shape the mixture into a loaf. Lay the bacon slices across the width of the loaf so that the entire surface is covered. Cover the loaf loosely with foil. Bake at 375 degrees F for 1 1/2 hours.
* If you make this and form it into two thinner loaves (about the size that half of a slice of bacon would fully cover it width-wise), then it takes half the time to cook. We also, occasionally, put slices of cheese under the bacon for added flavor.
Just thought I’d share!

I made this yesterday too! When I mixed it up I really didn’t think I was going to like it, but it was really good. It goes on the make it again list.
mmm, cheesy stuffed taco bread looks great. Thank you! I like meatloaf but I don’t get to make it often because Josh isn’t a big fan. I keep trying to convert him though
Jennifer, I didn’t think I’d like it either. It just looked odd mixing it up, but it was surprisingly good.
