My favorite crockpot roast recipe

I love roast.

Like, I think sometimes I'm more excited to see a good roast cooking more than I'm excited to see my husband. 

Okay, not really. 

But that shows you how much I love roast. 

My dad and my sister make amazing roasts, so as a new bride 8 years ago, I was excited to see if I inherited the "roast gene." Josh was in Iraq, so I was only cooking for myself. I bought those awesome-if-you're-single-or-learning-to-cook frozen roast meals. 

I thought I was an amazing cook. 

I was, because I put in the effort of schlepping to the store with the sole intention of buying this frozen goodness and then remembering to put it in my crockpot the next morning. 

That WAS me being a good cook. 

Well, after Josh came home, he cooked real food for me and I couldn't go back to what I was cooking before. 

After using oven bags, roasting pans, and my crockpot to cook from-scratch roasts, I was saddened to realize that I could cook just about anything... Except roasts. 

It was a dark day in the Cook household. 

My poor family has had to eat runny roasts, dry roasts, and burnt roasts over the last 8 years. *shudders*

However!

Last year the roast gods smiled on me and my dear dad shared with me a fail-proof de-licious recipe for roast that also doubles as a gravy after the roast is finished. 

I wish I knew where he got the recipe so I could throw some credit and snaps in that person's direction. Seriously, they deserve it. 

If I had thought about it, I would have taken pictures of my roast last night for a visual aid, but alas, I did not. 

But, here's the recipe, so don't get too ruffled. *grins*

Easy-peasy crockpot roast:

1 roast- any kind of meat or size (The magic works for all)

2 cans cream of mushroom soup ( the standard can size, not family sized)

1 packet onion soup mix

Pour soup in bowl and have your flippin' adorable daughter stir in the onion soup envelope.
Oh wait, the daughter thing is optional  or can be substituted for adorable  son or handsome husband. 

Put roast in crockpot (the roast can be frozen or thawed. I never remember to thaw mine and it turns out super tender regardless) and pour onion and soup mixture on top. 

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. 

That's. It. 

That's. It. 

How easy is that? 

Like I said, the soup mixture can also be used as a gravy for your taters as well. 

It's simply amazing. 

Happy Saturday, folks! Let me know how your roasts turn out!
