Easiest Crockpot Beef Roast
I don't cook many things from packets but I have to say this was awfully darn good!
- 1 beef roast
- 1 envelope onion soup mix
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup (optional)
- 1 can of soda
I used Sprite for the soda. I've read about people using Coke and Ginger Ale as well. If you don't have any onion soup mix, sauté an onion and add 2 tsp. beef bouillon instead or make up your own mix like this one on About.com.
Put the beef roast in your slow cooker. Combine the mushroom soup and onion soup mix and pour over the roast, then add the soda. Cover and cook on low 5-8 hours or high 4-6 hours, depending on your brand and model of slow cooker. Refer to the directions that came with your slow cooker for guidelines. Older slow cookers cook at a much lower temperature than the newer ones do so will take much longer. For my newish one (5 years old) I would put it on low for about 5 or 6 hours.
This was fantastic! I served it with plain white rice but it would also be good with egg noodles or mashed potatoes to soak up the "gravy" like juice.
