Just 4 ingredients make this tender slow cooker pot roast with potatoes and flavorful gravy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lean chuck roast (about 3 pounds)
  • 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed French onion soup
  • 2 1/2 pounds small red potatoes (scrubbed and peeled, halved)
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Kosher salt as needed

Instructions

  1. Add the beef and potatoes. Place the beef pot roast in the slow cooker and top with the halved potatoes.
  2. Add the soup. In a bowl, combine the two cans of soup. Whisk to blend and pour over the beef roast and potatoes.
  3. Slow cook. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours or until the roast is tender.
  4. Reduce the liquids. Pour the juices into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for about 4 to 5 minutes, until the liquid is slightly reduced and the flavors have concentrated. Taste for seasoning.
  5. Optional thickening. To thicken more, combine 1 1/2 tablespoons of flour with about 2 tablespoons of cold water; stir until smooth. Add to the reduced liquids and cook on high until thickened.
