This meal of Company Pot Roast reminds me of a perfect Sunday Dinner. This recipe came about because I promised to make dinner for my neighbors family, the mom was in the hospital and the husband and 4 kids needed dinner. I didn’t want to bring over my Slow Cooker Complete Pot Roast Dinner, though that recipe tastes amazing, I didn’t want to serve brownish colored crockpot potatoes. So I cooked the just pot roast and gravy in the slow cooker and cooked the potatoes and carrots separately, so it would be a more visually appealing meal.
Note- This makes just enough gravy, if you want loads of gravy, double the soup, gravy mix, and water ingredients.

What can be used in place of Cream of Mushroom Soup? I’m allergic to mushrooms. Thanks.
cream of celery works fine
cream of chicken or cream of celery’
Ran across this recipe today and made it for supper. Just my husband and me, but we like gravy, so I doubled it. My husband is a plain old meat and potatoes man, but he ate every single bite and said it was really good! Thank you so much.
Can I use a substitute for the cream of mushroom soup?
Cream of celery?
can I use a different soup besides cream of mushroom (family does not like mushroom)?
would it work to put potatoes and carrots in the crock pot to cook with the roast?
I think it would do fine!
My son is a huge fan of pot roast! I know he’d gobble up this version! Such gorgeous photos too! Pot roast is hard to make look pretty! lol
Looks amazing! My BIL always requests a pot roast when he visits. I think I will use this recipe next time and just plain make my life easier!
There something about a pot roast that makes me feel warm and cozy inside. This recipe looks just like that – something I know my family would love!

I’m always on the lookout for a delicious pot roast recipe. This looks so easy to make. Thanks, Sarah!
This looks like the perfect comfort food Sarah! I love pot roast, but I’ve never really liked the onion soup packets to make it in the slow cooker. I can’t wait to make this for dinner!
Try using a can of French Onion soup instead and golden mushroom soup.
This dish looks lovely. I will give it a try.
