I use one can of cream of mushroom soup - one packet of onion soup mix, and one can of Pepsi - put all in the crockpot and let cook slowly - melts in your mouth - I remove the roast when done - and cool in refrigerator wrapped in foil - when ready to serve, I cut it in slices - makes very nice even slices, and put the meat back into the juices which have been kept cold also - and rewarm in the oven till ready to use it. Covered with foil... Great gravy - neat cuts of meat - looks professional.
