Easy Pot Roast Recipe without Onion Soup Mix: Tips for Delicious Gravy

[babywings76]

I have a pot roast that I want to cook today in my DCB. Problem is that I forgot to pick up an Onion soup mix. I only have cr. of mushroom soup. I have onions, celery, and carrots. I also forgot to pick up potatoes. So I only have instant mashed ones to prepare afterwards, so I hope to have some type of gravy. Does anyone know of what kind of spices/seasonings I can combine to make it go with the cream of mushroom soup? I also don't have any Coke, so I can't follow the recipes that call for that. Any help would be great!

do you have garlic?

Slice a few cloves into 1/4ths. Make some small slits in the roast and shove the garlic into it. Season with Itialian seas or just salt an pepper. Brown on all sides in SS pan (if available or any fry pan will do) Add a bit of water maybee 1/2 cup to the DCB

My roasts are always an experiment. I never do it the same way twice!

Do you cook it in the microwave or oven? What temp. and how long? My roast is a little less than 2 1/2 lbs.

hmmm, I just make my pot roast in the Pot with some beef broth and an onion - simmer it all day long - then I make mashed potatoes and some veggies - gravy, I use the broth that the roast cooked in all day strained and add some wondra flour -

I am sure you could cook it in the DCB with the cover on as well - timing is what I can't help you with -

Or you can do what Kacey said..............
