Pot roast and gravy over mashed potatoes with carrots on the side.

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.

      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.

      would it work to put potatoes and carrots in the crock pot to cook with the roast?

      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.
