    This roast is so flavorful and EASY to make. I found the recipe years ago in my grandma's recipe box and made a copy for myself. Her recipe was titled "Swiss Steak", but isn't like any Swiss steak recipe that I've seen before (doesn't have tomatoes, etc.). I like it BETTER. Our favorite way to enjoy it is over rice or mashed potatoes. You could also serve it with egg noodles.

    Slow Cooker Pot Roast Ingredients

    • 2-3 lb. roast (chuck, round, etc.)*
    • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
    • 1 envelope onion soup mix
    • ½ cup water

    *It really doesn't matter what kind of roast that you use. An inexpensive cut works just fine because it's cooking low and slow and will be juicy no matter what.
