Ingredients
  

  • 1 pot roast, lean chuck, about 3 pounds
  • 2 to 3 pounds small red potatoes, scrubbed and peeled, halved
  • 4 large carrots, halved lengthwise and sliced into 3-inch lengths
  • 1 can, 10 3/4 ounces condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can, 10 3/4 ounces condensed French onion soup or 1 envelope onion soup mix and 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or flour and 2 tablespoons water, optional

  • Place the pot roast in the slow cooker.
  • Arrange the potatoes and carrots around the roast.
  • Combine the soups and then pour the mixture over the roast and potatoes.
  • Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour.
  • Turn to LOW and cook for 6 to 8 hours longer, or until the roast is very tender.
  • Defat the liquids and pour them into a saucepan; bring to a boil. Continue boiling for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until reduced slightly and the flavors are concentrated.
  • If a thicker sauce is desired, combine 1 tablespoon of flour or cornstarch with 1 or 2 tablespoons of water. Mix until smooth; stir into the boiling broth and continue cooking until thickened.
