It’s time, friends.
It’s time for my most January-ist recipe to be re-posted for 2023.
It’s easy. It’s delicious. It will make your home smell insanely good.
When I wanted a great roast recipe that would take no time at all to prep, who did I call? My mother-in-law…because she knows roast.
Now, my mother-in-law likes to add carrots and new potatoes the last hour or so, but we like to serve ours alongside a baked potato and a salad. Either way? Delish!
I’m telling you…you will be making this one on REPEAT!

Best Slow Cooker Roast
- Yield: 4 to 6 1x
Description
My mother-in-law’s original recipe is the perfect weeknight winter recipe!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (3 to 4 pound rump roast)
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
- salt and pepper (I prefer Kosher or sea salt)
- 2 (10 oz) cans cream of mushroom soup (we use gluten-free)
- 1 packet of Lipton’s Beefy Onion soup mix (two packets come in a box)
- about 1½ cups of beef stock
Instructions
- In a big pot over medium-high heat, add in a big drizzle of EVOO and brown up both sides of your roast. Sprinkle a liberal amount of both salt and pepper on each side as you brown (no more than 4 minutes per side).
- Once both sides are browned, add the roast to your slow cooker and then add in your cream of mushroom soups, one packet of onion soup mix (just the dry packet, not prepared) and your beef stock. Cover and cook on HIGH 8 to 10 hours.
- When you’re ready to eat, remove the roast from the slow cooker and allow it to rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Your family is going to love, love, love this recipe! Huge hit at my house!!

If you add the roast first, do you then pour over the cream soup, sprinkle the onion soup mix, and pour over the beef stock and begin the cooking process? Should you stir the three together before starting the cooking? It sounds delicious and I’m looking forward to trying it. I’ve had a lot of success with using Cream of Mushroom with Roasted Garlic soup anytime a recipe calls for Cream of Mushroom. Thank you.

It’s so simple! I just layer it all in there and kind of give it a stir but not too much. I’ve made this so many times and it always turns out perfectly!!
Pamela says
Thank you! If my second comment shows up, just delete it as this was the first one.

I’m just asking to verify the temp on crockpot.
The recipe says 8-10 hours on high?
I have never cooked a roast that long on high.
Is that temp correct?
Thank you and it looks delicious.
Mix and Match Mama says
I know it sounds super high, but that is Andrea’s original recipe, so that’s what I’ve always done for years and years and years, and it works every time!

Hi Shay: Thank you for what looks to be a great recipe for my family! Would you tell me, please, what size slow cooker you use and what brand you’d recommend? I’m due for a new one. Thanks very much!
Mix and Match Mama says
I have one that’s 19 years old from Target that still works like a charm and then another one that’s 10 years old from Williams-Sonoma that I love. That’s the All Clad and I still love them both! They’re both oval (I prefer that to round).
Marybeth says
Thanks so much! I’ll look into the All Clad. Happy weekend!

I did our meal plan today for the next 3 dinners and this roast is thats on for dinner saturday night! I am trying to decide which of your soups to make for dinner tomorrow, You have so many good looking ones I cant pick?! Which soup of yours would you go with?
Mix and Match Mama says
Have you made one with a Tex-Mex flair lately? I feel like the White Chicken Chili or the Chicken Tortilla Soup should be on your menu too 😉 !
Melinda Feather says
WHat Gluten free brand of the onion soup mix do you guys use and love? Liptons is not gluten free.
Mix and Match Mama says
My favorite swap is using one can of Progresso’s Mushroom Soup with garlic powder.
