Savory Pot Roast With Gravy

This savory slow cooker Pot Roast came out amazing and it is so easy to make. My mother, my biggest critic, said it was the best Pot Roast she ever had! I have to say that I had a second helping and more the next day.

Savory Pot Roast with gravy
serves 4 -6

3 pound chuck roast

2 cans cream of mushroom soup

1 packet of dry onion soup mix

salt

pepper

garlic powder

In your slow cooker, mix the two cans of cream of mushroom soup and one envelop of dry onion soup mix. Season the chuck roast with salt (go easy since the soups have a lot of sodium in them already), pepper and garlic powder, and add to slow cooker.

Cook the pot roast on low for 9 – 10 hours, or 4-5 hours on high, until the meat is tender and falling apart. (I used high for 4 hours and it came out deliciously tender.)

Serve with mashed potatoes and side of veggies, or a crisp salad.
