Company Pot Roast
This meal of Company Pot Roast reminds me of a perfect Sunday Dinner. This recipe came about because I promised to make a dinner for my neighbors family, the mom was in the hospital and the husband and 4 kids needed dinner. I didn’t want to bring over my Slow Cooker Complete Pot Roast Dinner, though that recipe tastes amazing, I didn’t want serve brownish colored crock pot potatoes. So I cooked the just pot roast and gravy in the slow cooker, and cooked the potatoes and carrots separately, so it would be a more visually appealing meal.
Note- This makes just enough gravy, it you want loads of gravy, double the soup, gravy mix and water ingredients.
Ingredients
- 4-5 pound Bottom Round Rump Roast
- salt
- pepper
- onion powder
- cooking oil
- 1 (10.75-oz. can) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 (1.25-oz.) brown gravy packet
- 1/4 cup water
- mashed potatoes for serving
- steamed carrots tossed in butter and parsley for serving
Instructions
- Sprinkle the roast evenly with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Set a large skillet to medium high heat, and put enough cooking oil in to coat the bottom of the pan. Brown the roast on all sides. Place into a 5-quart or larger slow cooker.
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk the cream of mushroom soup, gravy and water together. Pour over roast.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours.
- Strain gravy through a metal strainer if desired.
- Serve with mashed potatoes and steamed carrots.
