Our Easy Pot Roast Just May Be The Easiest Effort To Reward Ratio Recipe Ever! Tender, Juicy, Pot Roast Bathed In A Yummy Gravy! Almost Cooks Itself.
This is one of my favorite ways to prepare a pot roast. A few simple ingredients and a long, slow roast it in the oven or crockpot and dinner practically cooks itself. The meat comes out incredibly tender. I like to serve this with a salad and some mashed potatoes. Actually, the mashed potatoes are a must so you can eat all the yummy gravy this recipe makes!
Pot Roast
Ingredients
- 1 ( 4-5) Pound Chuck Roast or London Broil
- 1 (10.75) Ounce Can Can Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
- 1 (10.75) Ounce Can Condensed Cream of Tomato Soup
- 1 Package Package Dry Onion Soup
Instructions
CROCK POT INSTRUCTIONS:
- Mix all three soups together in a small bowl.
- Pour 1/2 cup soup mixture into the bottom of a large crock pot. Add roast in the crockpot. Pour the rest of the soup mixture over roast and cover. Cook on low for approximately 5-8 hours or until fork tender. (a small London Broil roast will obviously cook faster than a thick Chuck Roast-that's why there's such a spread in the time. I cooked a small 2 1/2 pound London Broil in 5 hours)
OVEN INSTRUCTIONS::
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix all three soups together in a small bowl.
- Pour 1/2 cup soup mixture into the bottom of a large roasting pan. Place roast in pan. Pour the rest of the soup mixture over roast and cover. Bake for approximately 4-5 hours or until fork tender.

Recipe Notes For Easy Pot Roast:
Cut Of Meat: I make this recipe either with a London Broil or a Chuck Roast.nBoth cuts of meat work well. London Broil is leaner and obviously heart healthier. It comes out fork tender but because it’s so lean it’s not quite as moist. If you use a chuck roast, because it has a good deal of fat, you’ll need to skim off the fat at the end of the cooking time so you’ll have a lovely gravy.
Crockpot Or Oven: This recipe can be made in a crockpot or baked in the oven.
This is my favorite Crock Pot.
I use it to fix dinner probably at least once a week. It’s large oval shape nicely accommodates the large 4-5 pound roast used in this recipe. With some smaller round crock pots, you have to cut the roast up just to fit it in.

I made this yesterday and it was outstanding. I substituted cream of chicken soup for the mushroom and used the leaner London broil. Served it with mashed potatoes and salad and ate the leftovers today. Heaven!
THIS LOOKS AMAZING! Any easy.. there seems to be very few ingredients. Can’t wait to try it!
I have never tried combining soups cans into a pot roast. maybe should give it try
Sounds awfully good to me! I usually make a roast with mushroom soup and dry onion soup but this one sounds exceptionally good!!!
