Do you add water to the soups? Or just leave them condensed?
Hi Melanie!
Just leave them condensed. If you need to add in the water, we’ll make sure and include it in the directions. Enjoy!

Do you recommend adding carrots, potatoes or other seasonings while cooking?
Hi Carter!
You could add in carrots and potatoes if you wanted to, just make sure you use a hard potato like a russet and not a soft potato like a red. The flavor is great in this roast, so extra seasonings aren’t really necessary. Let us know how it turns out! Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
This looks so good. I will be making this as soon as we get cool weather.
My husband does not like mushrooms. Can you suggest another soup to use? Thank you
Hi Diana!
I am actually not a mushroom fan either, but loved this roast. If you still can’t convince him, you might try another cream or condensed soup. I haven’t tried it with a different kind though, so I can’t say for sure. Let me know how it turns out! Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
Just make it, and throw all the cans away!!!! I have a son in law, who loves green bean casserole, but now refuses to eat it, because he saw the soup cans. I don’t like mushrooms myself, but never notice them in the recipes I make with soup. And, as for Golden Mushroom soup, I make a delicious dish from pork chops, onion, and golden mushroom soup, served over rice.
Hi Linda!
That’s my philosophy! I hate mushrooms but love recipes with the soups once I actually tried it! In fact, one of my all-time favorite recipes is Slow Cooker Steak with Gravy!

Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did!
Aunt Lou
Do you spoon the soups over the top of the roast before cooking or just leave the soup underneath?
Hi Jen!
Just put your roast on top of the soups and go! The flavor comes through wonderfully! Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
Is there another soup besides golden mushroom that I can substitute???
Hi Doug!
I haven’t tried it any other way, but you could try substituting another cream or condensed soup. If you don’t like cream soups, you could even try a veggie soup. That would change it up a bit, but just trying to think of all your options. Hope that helps!
Aunt Lou
Can you put potatoes and carrots in the crock pot while cooking the roast?? Or will they over cook after 8-9 hours???? Never have cooked a roast this way, I always cook it in the oven. Thanks, Pat
Hi Pat!
Yes, you can add carrots and potatoes. Just make sure you use a hard potato like a russet. Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
I haven’t made this roast yet but the picture looks delicious and sounds great too. I will try it later this week and give my opinion after I make this roast. For now just on the recipe itself and the picture I would give it 4 stars….. but after I make it then maybe it will be a 5 star recipe….
Can not wait for ur review before I make it!
