Ok, I could have sworn I had posted this recipe before, but can’t seem to find it now! I use this recipe a lot in the winter. Not only is it very quick and easy to put together-but because of the “low & slow” method of cooking you can use a very cheap cut of meat & still have it come out tender & flavorful.
Ridiculously Easy Crock Pot Roast
1 Roast
1 Can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 pkg Onion Soup mix
Place roast in a crock pot.
Pour Cream of Mushroom soup on top of roast.
Sprinkle Onion Soup Mix over all.
Cover crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
See? Even someone with zero cooking talent can manage this one!
Variations:
Use any kind of roast or meat: Chicken, Beef, Venison etc.
Use any kind of “cream of” soup you like.
Use a homemade “cream of” soup instead of buying at the store.
Use some beef bullion powder & dried minced onions instead of the onion soup mix.
Add carrots, potatoes, celery or any other veggie that sounds good to you and let cook along with the roast.

We make this all the time; it’s especially good with rump roast when you catch it on sale. We eat it the first night with mashed potatoes, then mix the leftover meat and broth with egg noodles for a quick second dinner + leftovers for lunches.
Just a little hint: if you’re making it with the canned soup and powdered soup mix, don’t salt the meat. Yes, we learned it the hard way!

My family has been eating that roast recipe forever!
We love to stick that in….and come home to the wonderful smells of our house.
A delicious bonding meal! For sure!
My mom always made the crock pot roast with Campbell’s Golden Mushroom and French Onion soups. Talk about the best gravy!!! I love to add seasonings as well…garlic, salt, pepper, and Tony Chachere’s.
