No matter how many times I try to get my extended family onboard with new ideas, it seems as though we're going to eat the same few foods at get-togethers for the rest of our lives. It used to drive me crazy. But, at this point, it really is a losing battle. And at least we eat REALLY delicious food! More than turkey, ham, or anything else, this roast is everybody's favorite. And it's not even close!

Why This Recipe Works

  1. Even though this is not a set-it-and-forget-it recipe, it still only has TWO STEPS! And the end result is perfect every time.
  2. Not including salt and pepper, this roast recipe only has 3 ingredients!
  3. Along with getting a perfectly cooked roast, you will have plenty of gravy for your potatoes. BONUS!

...and mix with the juices. Do your best not to disturb the roast. Cook for another two hours on high. Check for fall-apart fork tenderness. If necessary, cook for another hour or so. Then switch to warm setting.  It's pretty difficult (within reason) to overcook it.

And This Is The AMAZING Result...

Expert Tips

  1. Avoid the urge to add the soup at the beginning. I know that makes it easier, but a few things will happen if you do that. First, the roast won't develop any color - and with food, color equals flavor. Second, adding the soup first will literally just boil the roast - which is not what you want to do.
  2. If you want to take it to a whole new level, sear the roast in a cast iron skillet until caramelized on both sides before placing in the slow cooker.

FAQs

Can I use a different size roast? Any size roast will work with this method. My general rule-of-thumb is this... One hour for each pound, plus one more hour.

Is there a way to make this gluten-free? Yes, any gluten-free cream of mushroom soup should work just fine.

Can I make this in an Instant Pot? I wouldn't recommend using this soup in a pressure cooker because creamy things have a tendency to separate when cooked under pressure. But here's a version written for Instant Pot that is tried and true.
