Roasted Beef with Mushroom & Onion Gravy

Today's addition to our recipe cards is probably my all time favorite. This dish is so easy to make yet so incredibly delicious. You will need a crock pot for this one or you will have to run your oven for hours at about 275 degrees.


Roasted Beef with Mushroom and Onion Gravy

Beef roast (about 3 pounds)
1 packet of Lipton dry onion soup mix
1 can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup
Black pepper


Place a beef roast (any cut will do, one with a little visible fat is good) in a crock pot.

Season lightly with pepper.

In a bowl, mix the dry onion soup mix with the cream of mushroom soup. With a spatula, spread soup mixture evenly over the roast.


Place the lid on the crock pot and turn on low. That's it! Come back in 8 hours or so and you will have the most delicious beef roast ever.



Note: If the gravy is too thick, add a little water or milk to thin to desired consistency. If the gravy is too thin, mix a little flour and water in a cup to from a thickening agent and stir into the gravy to thicken. Be sure to get all of the lumps out before pouring into your gravy.



My family goes wild for this dish especially when I put mashed potatoes, corn, salad and biscuits on the side. Of course, you can serve this with any side you wish, but be sure to make something on which to use this delicious gravy.





So what will this cost:

Beef roast 3lbs ----------$6.00

Onion soup mix -----------.60

Cream of Mushroom -----.89

Total Cost ---------------$7.49





I based this on a 3 pound roast. You can of course go larger or smaller depending on your family size. This will feed 6 heartily.





As always, I have listed the brands I like, but I have made this recipe using store brand soups and they were just as tasty. I have also used the fat free version of the cream of mushroom soup and it is also just as tasty.
