I make mine like Marsye and Ginnie6 in my Grandmother's old cast iron dutch oven. I always use a chuck roast and the trick is to cook it slowly...at least 1 hour per pound.
It will fall apart and the drippings make the best gravy, mmmm :D

I was given this recipe from my niece for Pot Roast:


for a 3lb Pot Roast

l Pkg Lipton Dry Onion Soup
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
l can of Coca Cola

Mix together and pour over roast
It is better if the roast is frozen
Put in oven at 300 for a couple of hours
check to see if water is needed. Turn up the
temp to 350 for the last hour.
Your pot roast will be moist and have nice gravy and will be a hit If you have a bigger roast than double the amounts.
If you don't have a frozen beef roast Than bake @ 350 for 2-3 hours depends on the weight of the roast. Enjoy!!!

I put Herb & Garlic Mrs. Dash on the top and 1 bay leaf under it, put in a 285 degree oven and cook for 3 hours. If you want to put your carrots and potatoes put them in whole the last hour of cooking. Makes very tasty gravy from the juices

Heat olive oil in large pan, cover roast with season salt and season pepper. Sear (cook until brown) the meat on one side while seasoning the other side. Turn and sear the other side.

In sauce pan, heat to boiling, 2 cans beef consume and two cans water, 1/4 cup red wine, 1 package of lipton onion soup, 2 tbls of Westerchestershire (sp?) the heart of a stalk of celery.

cut potatoes and onions in quarters, place meat in roasting pan, put onions and potatoes, one bag of baby carrots, two tbls of chopped garlic in th pan around the meat. pour liquid over top, add a little more water if necessary. Cover cook on 325 for two hours. Check meat in two hours should be done. I take a nap while cooking.

oh I forgot this hint from one of the older ladies down here... if the meat is a 'tough cut' add about a tablespoon of vinegar to the water you add and it will make it tender....
(yes it works, no you do not taste any vinegar taste)

It's amazing how many ways there are to cook a roast. When this post has grown to it's limits I am going to save it. It would be fun to start at the top and use each recipe.
My spin on the recipe:
Large crock pot, on low or high depending on the time you have.
Wash the roast, rub in (hard rub) Greek seasoning. Put the roast in the crock pot, lid on and forget about it for about 6 hours. (If you want to add vegtables you may. No water or liquid).
Turn the crock pot off, remove the lid and let the roast sit for about 15 minutes. (This keeps the juice in the meat and lets it cool enough for slicing).
Move the roast to your cutting board, slice in very thin slices. An electric knife is perfect. Put the slices back in the crock pot to soak up the juice created when cooking.
It is very very good.

My Grandma, years ago, would pan brown all over a big hunk
of meat, then put it to simmer with garlic, onions, vinegar and
about half the liquid being coffee. The vinegar tenderized the
meat, the coffee added a strong flavor, then she would add
salt, pepper, and any veggie she had fresh from the garden!!
Maybe a touch more water to cover the meat.

Even these many years ago I can remember the rich taste!!

I just poke holes in the roast, soak in Vinegar about 15 minutes--tenderizes the meat. Pour off the vinegar after that time, and coat with Kitchen Bouquet--I buy it at Wal-Mart, but suppose any store has it. It gives the meat a nice Brown color and coats the meat.
Brown the roast on all sides, reduce heat and add water. Cook about 2 hrs. for a 3-4 # roast, less for smaller, ect.
If you use the crockpot, just put in the crockpot after it has been browned, ect. Cook longer as that is how the heat is on crock pots.
Good luck! Always works for me.
