on 8/28/2006 The most delicious pot roast I ever made came from a recipe sent to me by my brother. You take salt, pepper and garlic powder and rub it into the roast. Place it immediately into the Crockpot and cover with 1-2 cans of Progresso cream of mushroom soup + 1 packet of Lipton onion soup mix. Add about 1/2 of a soup can of water. Chop up a large onion and toss it in. Cook 6-8 hours. This makes the most delicious, tender pot roast I've ever had, and it gets me lots of compliments. It is best when paired with mashed potatoes!

on 11/22/2005 This is a quick (and good)way to make a thin gravy for a crock pot roast: Add a packet of brown gravy mix to your pot. Most of the mixes have salt in them, so I never add any salt to the pot. I also add about 10 to 12 whole peppercorns to the pot in the beginning of the cooking. It does not make the roast have a peppery taste, but it does add a fuller flavor to it. I let the pot rest for about half an hour (with the top off) to allow the flavors to mix together.

on 11/22/2005 My mom always seared or browned the meat on each side (in oil) before putting it in the cooker. It seals in the juices and makes the outside of the meat much tastier.

on 11/22/2005 Someone told me 3 yrs ago to add a pot of coffee to my roast when I complained mine always turned out really tough. It worked! The roast was delicious. Try it.

on 11/22/2005 Try marinating the roast overnight in vinaigrette salad dressing for extra flavour and tenderizing' Greek vinaigrette is excellent, as is Balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Also, to make a thicker gravy, add 2 Tablespoons of corn starch to the crock pot approximately 1 hr before serving.
