I have tried many great pot roast recipes, but this is as great as they come.

Stupid awesome recipe. I adapted it based on what I had/didn’t have, and used it in my slow cooker/crock pot. I rubbed the roast liberally with a Savory Spice Shop rub that I received as a gift (Pike’s Peak Butchers Rub: black pepper, sea salt, white pepper, red bell pepper, garlic, minced green onion and parsley), then browned it in a stainless pan over high heat w/ olive oil. While that browned, I lined the bottom of the slow cooker (large oval style) with a layer of carrots and 2 bay leaves. Once browned, I set the roast on top of the carrots, and put the onions in the pan that I browned the roast in. After a few minutes of cooking the onions, I added the minced garlic for just a minute, then I added ¾ (recipe calls for ¼) cup red wine to deglaze the pan, I let that cook for just a minute, then turned off the heat. I then added the can of mushroom soup + 1 can of water and mixed it together and added the Worcestershire sauce. I dumped all that over the roast in the slow cooker, put it on High for 1 hour, then reduced to low heat, and 5 hours later we had magic. I didn’t have beef brother or bullion so I omitted it. I pulled the beef and let it rest while I pulled the carrots with s slotted spoon, then I dumped all the magic juice in the bottom of the cooker through a strainer into a medium sauce pan. I put that over medium high heat and whisked in a couple tablespoons corn starch and cold water to thicken it up. We served it with garlic mashed potatoes. The beef and carrots were amazing and perfect with GREAT flavor, NOT bland, our 3 year old and 1 year old super-picky daughters ate a ton of beef and carrots.

This is now my go-to pot roast recipe. Served it to the family and was it ever a hit! I used Catsup in place of the wine...delicious!

My family loved this dinner. The meat melts in your mouth. Thanks Paula!

This was absolutely delicious. The only thing I had to do differently was instead of the wine,I added 1/4 cup of ketchup. The grave was thick and so good. My whole family loved it. In fact my extended families borrowed the recipe. Thanks Paula.

This one was a WINNER!! I lightned it up just a bit by using 98% Fat Free Cream of Mushroom Soup, a little less oil and more spray, but that was it! It was so easy and worth the wait! My husband asked me to make this dish a little more often! It went great with Bobby Lighter Cheesy Mac and the Buttery Spinach and Mushrooms (I tweaked that one some as well). This was a fabulous Sunday meal for my husband and I. Thank you so very much Paula!

This is the BEST Pot Roast I have ever eaten. On a good roll the next day it made a sandwich that you almost had to lick your elbows to get all the gravy! I didnt have Paula's season mix so I used a different season mix. And I used a whold onion. I will make again and again!!

It was a little bland the first time around. However, I added lipton onion soup mix and that moved it from a 3/5 to a 4/5.

This is an excellent and easy recipe. Just add veggies and your meal is ready! And tasty!

Hi Debbie, Here is the recipe for Paula's House Seasoning: House Seasoning: 1 cup salt 1/4 cup pepper 1/4 cup garlic powder

By Jonathan Able on March 24, 2011

Thoroughly enjoyed this roast - it was tender and even better the second day. I didn't have Paula's seasoning, but I just used salt, pepper & garlic powder and it was great. Definitely will make it again.

By Debi Taylor on March 04, 2011

We absolutely loved this recipe for Pot Roast. Very tender and full of flavor. I had to use white wine instead of red, but it still turned out wonderful.

This is a delicious, 5 star + recipe, which we will use again and again! It made the house smell heavenly when it was cooking! Our 27 year old son even took notice and came into the kitchen to see what was cooking! He said it smelled amazing! The only change we will make next time is that we, too, will leave out the extra salt in the rub. It was too salty for our taste. I think Paula's House Seasoning will be the only seasoning we will use on it. The meat turned out very tender - fork tender - no need for a knife! Thanks for another wonderful recipe, Paula!

Super good and easy to make. Used cream of celery instead of mushroom.

This is SO delicious and easy to make! Since I've been married, I've tried two roast recipes that I pulled off of the internet, and the end results were disastrous. Of course, when I told my husband I was making a roast again, he asked me not to and told me I don't know how to cook a roast. One bite, and he looked like he had died and gone to Heaven. After he raved about the roast, I told him what all Paula fans know: Paula knows what she's talkin' about when it comes to cooking!! Thank you for sharing. My faith in my roast cooking ability has been restored thanks to your recipe. The ONLY thing I will do differently next time is leave out that 1 teaspoon of salt in the rub.
