I looked back at the recipies last year but could not answer the following: Do I add water to the mushroom soup & onion soup mix and how much?
All advice appreciated
Thanks

I would probably put a cup of water in the bottom of the crock pot to prevent burning to the bottom. With that said, you can do the same thing in the oven. Place a large sheet of tin foil in a roasting pan. Lay the pot roast in, top with the can of mushroom soup and then the onion soup mix. (I use 1 can of reg. mushroom soup and 1 of Golden Mushroom soup with a full package of onion soup, also add a can of mushroom pieces or buttons, a bag of frozen pearl onions, and a bag of fresh baby carrots) seal up the top and sides of the tin foil and bake at 325 degrees for 4 hours.
When done, if the "gravy's not thick enough, dump it into a pot (be sure to scrap the bottom of the foil for all the "good stuff")and mix a little cornstarch or flour with water and stir in over medium heat.
I often put it all together and set the oven on a programmed start. Come home to a GREAT meal.
This is my family's FAVORITE meal. Serve over noodles.

I do not add water when I make it. The roast and the veggies provide enough liquid.

Bottom of crock pot: put a couple of stalks of celery on the bottom and then put the meat on top. That will prevent sticking.

I usually put in about a half can beer. Sometimes V8 juice instead.

I had a recipe once for a pot roast w/bloody mary. You made a bloody w/mixer & vodka just as you'd drink it and put it in w/pot roast. Everyone loved it. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

"I usually put in about a half can beer."

And what do you do with the other 5 1/2 cans?

What a great idea! We have some beef short ribs in the freezer! I think I'll try that!

Tonight I cut up the remaining beef and made a beef/veg soup. Delicious
