This is by far the simplest way to make roast beef and gravy. On busy days, I can put this main dish in the slow cooker and forget about it. My family likes it with mashed potatoes and fruit salad. &mdash;Abby Metzger, Larchwood, Iowa

Roast Beef and Gravy

beef chuck roast (3 pounds)

each) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted

broth

onion soup mix

I make \"a version\" of this recipe replacing the beef broth with 1 cup of good red wine.  I mix the 3 together and pour over the top of the roast and bake it for 2 1/2 to 3 hours and it is OUTSTANDING and makes it\'s own yummy gravy. If you use a chuck roast it becomes very tender in the oven (I do not use a slow-cooker-ever). I serve it with mashed potatoes and green beans and carrots.  Sooo good!

Absolutely the BEST and EASIEST dish to make, hands down.I got a late start in putting it in the crock pot; having only six hours to cook it. To offset my timing, I cooked it on HIGH the entire time. It was very tender when I was ready to serve it.

Made this yesterday and my husband kept commenting on the delicious smell and couldn\'t wait to eat! Delicious and with simple on hand ingredients!  Only changes I made was to brown the roast after coating with seasoned flour. Then put beef broth in the pan, brought to a simmer to loosen an brown bits from the pan. Also added a handful of petite carrots. Made such a great thick gravy and meat so tender. Served with mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus. Thanks Abby

I have been using a similar method for 55 years.  I started out using an electric skillet.  My mother taught me.  I agree with the ones that said season and flour the meat and brown first.  It improves the flavor so much.  We always sautéed the onions until limp but not browned.  Put the roast in the crockpot then add the soup to the skillet too loosen the drippings and pour over the roast.  I usually add carrots and diced potatoes about halfway through the cooking.  Just make sure there is plenty of gravy and it doesn\'t get too thick.  I usually have to thicken mine with a little cornstarch at the end.  The long cooking must do something to the thickener in the soup.  We have been using the Golden Mushroom Soup ever since it came out.

My family loves this recipe and it's so easy & delicious. It is good with potatoes, noodles, or rice. It doesn't matter if you're a bit late from work, as it seems to only improve with a little more cooking time. Makes great leftovers and my dogs also love it! I made this from Quick Cooking over 10 years ago, and it's my main recipe for roast beef. It's also in the 5 ingredient recipe cookbook, which is excellent!

Simple and delicious!! I love to serve it over sourdough bread.

I added a fine chopped onion , some red potatoes, a few carrots and a dash of black pepperit was REALLY GOOD !

Very good. I took 2 cans of mushroom soup and mixed in 1 can of french onion soup. I didn't use the broth, sherry or dry soup mix. I browned the roast first. Also only cooked for 5 hours. Our slow cooker cooks fast. Very good meal.

This is my go to recipe. YUMMY. Delicious.

By far the best roast I've ever had!! My husband is usually not a big fan of roast but he is now! Before I put the roast in the crock pot I rubbed it down with a little creole, garlic salt, seasoning salt, onion powder and pepper. So simple to make. This will be a new regular meal for us! Great with sliced and boiled red potatoes with a stick of melted butter on top.

Delicious! Roast was very tender and the gravy was wonderful over mashed potatoes. I love mushrooms so I added a can to mine.

This recipe is fantastic! It\'s simple and quick and you can add as many \"extras\" to it as you\'d like. I usually make a double-batch and cook it on high for approx. 5 hours--beautiful, fall-apart tender and juicy!

I've made this many times. DH does not like onion soup so I usually sub an envelope of beef gravy mix for the onion soup mix (adding some dried onion to the broth mixture). Can also use a jar of beef or mushroom gravy instead of one can of soup, can add a can of mushroom pieces too. I peel carrots and potatoes, pierce the potatoes with a knife, and place them on TOP of the meat while it cooks, they get done perfectly.

Good meal in rainy or cold weather. I sometimes add a splash of my favorite bbq saue to change up the flavor a bit.

Perfect as is but can be spiced up if desired.  Added garlic and some Everglades Heat or Everglades Cactus Dust are nice for some extra zing.

Super yummy. I don't like mushroom soup so I used a can of cream of celery and cream of onion. Will definitely make this again. Easy to put together before I rush out the door to work.

Not the healthest, but OOHHHHHHHH soooo good and we've never had left overs!

This was soooo yummy and so easy to make. I will definitely make this again. Leftovers are great, over bread.

This is so easy and so good. I like to add a can of mushrooms that I have drained and instead of using the sherry I use the beef broth.

Best recipe for roast beef EVER!!!!

This is a Mississippi Roast in disguise ... why does Taste need to use a CAN OF SOUP in every recipe?

I have to agree, it couldn't be much easier to have roast beef and gravy.
