How to Make Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast

In your slow cooker, whisk together 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 packet dry onion soup mix, and 1 cup of water until smooth.
Place a 5-6 pound chuck roast in the slow cooker.
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the pot roast, ensuring it's coated on all sides.
Cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 8-9 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender.
Remove the roast from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain. Skim excess fat from the cooking liquid.
Serve the sliced pot roast with the delicious pan gravy. You can thicken the gravy further by mixing 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stirring it into the gravy while it simmers.
