Melissa, substitute cream of celery for cream of mushroom.

I love this recipe! However, I want to make it for family but cannot use the cream of mushroom soup because a family member is allergic to mushrooms. Can you recommend a different soup to use but still get the same awesome flavor?

I have made this pot roast several times and have loved it every time! I think this is the best receipe for a roast I have ever had.

Very good! Not too salty like most roast recipes. I use cabernet instead of chardonnay. I also make gravy / sauce as follows...places more wine and leftover liquid in a sauce pan and reduce it until it caramelizes.

Paula, Thank you for the above recipe. (braised pot roast) I will be trying it very soon. I have a new Dutch oven and this sounds just like the perfect dish to start with. I was wondering tho if it would be okay to add a few small turnips with the veggies? I think they would give the dish a good flavor and I just love turnips anyway that they can be fixed.

I was wondering if this was a recipe can be made in a slow cooker as well, and if so, how do you (if you have to) adjust the liquid amounts and cook time?

Hi Camille, If you don't want to use the wine, you could use white grape juice.

I'm so looking forward to making Paula's recipe for slow cooker pot roast! But what can I substitute for the wine? Thank you. Camille

Delicious! This was the first time I have made a roast and it turned out right! My husband didn't even want to share with the kids, lol! Thanks Paula!

Paula, my 25 yr. old daughter fell in love with cooking several years ago (when she discovered your show). We love to entertain and never have anyone turn down an invite because they know they are going to get some good Southern cooking. My sister-in-law even had her help cook the rehearsal dinner for her son's wedding using some of your recipes (it was a big hit). My question is about substituting Cream of Mushroom soup with another kind of creamed soup. We are not a mushroom eating bunch and I was wondering what you could suggest instead. One recipe most particularly is your pot roast. She wants to make one, but is put off by the mushroom soup. Thanks in advance for any help you can give us and keep on keepin' on with all that good cooking! P.S. have been to both your families Savannah restaurants and love them both!!! Holla!!!

Best pot roast I have ever eaten. Receipe was passed on to my daughter, she substituted a pork roast with excellent results. Receipe then passed on to my grandson, he substituted a deer roast with excellent results. I have tried this receipe with and without the wine. The wine version is much better.
