How to Make Family Favorite Crock Pot Pot Roast

  1. In your slow cooker, whisk together 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup, 1 packet dry onion soup mix, and 1 cup of water.
  2. Place a 3-4 pound pot roast into the slow cooker. Ensure the soup mixture completely covers the top of the roast.
  3. Cook on high for 3-4 hours, on low for 8-9 hours, or on medium (if your crockpot has this setting) for 5-6 hours. Cooking time will depend on the size of your roast and your desired level of tenderness.
  4. Serve the pot roast with your favorite sides. I recommend steaming your potatoes and other vegetables separately in ziploc steam bags for optimal results.
