I assume I could add carrots to this and serve more like a roast without the cheese ? And the gravy could work over mashed potatoes ?
I have actually made this recipe with carrots and potatoes. You can find it here: https://www.recipesthatcrock.com/good-gravy-crock-pot-roast-dinner/. The cheese helps thicken the gravy, so omitting it will result in having cooking juices instead of a gravy. If you give it a try without the cheese, let me know how it goes!
Hey Aunt Lou, sure hope y’all are all doing well!! I’ve made this as written and as I said, “THIS IS 5 STAR AWESOME!!! The gravy is SO DELICIOUS, Walter and I LOVED IT!! He has already ask me to make with other meats.” Now I have a question, I have a lot of beef stew meat I need to use that’s been in the freezer a while. Do you think that would work well, just cut down on the time since it’s cut up pieces and not a whole roast?? Thank you! Love you guys!!💖
Yay! I’m so glad you guys enjoyed it! You absolutely can do this with beef stew meat. You can find the recipe here: https://www.recipesthatcrock.com/crock-pot-good-gravy-beef-tips/. I hope you enjoy it just as much as we do. We are all well, and I hope you guys are too!
Made this two weeks ago for my daughters visit. We all loved it! Making again right now. The only things I added where sliced mushrooms and sliced onions under the roast. So delicious! I’ve tried a lot of your roast recipes and so far this is a favorite. Thank you!
I’m so glad you enjoyed this! Your additions sound delicious! I totally agree. This is one of our favorite recipes with a roast…all the Good Gravy recipes are favorites around here. I highly recommend trying them all since you like this one. You can find them here (https://www.recipesthatcrock.com/recipe-index/?fwp_search=good+gravy) if you want to try them.
Made this last night. My family Loved it. Personally I have never cared for roast till I made this recipe. Will be a staple in our home.
Your comment just makes my heart happy! I’m so glad your family enjoyed it…you included! Thank you for taking the time to let me know!
I don’t like mushrooms. What two cans could I use instead?
Hi Valerie!
I’m not a fan of mushrooms either. If you buy the generic cream of mushroom soup, the pieces are usually so small that you can’t tell they are there. As for substitutions, I haven’t tried it with any substitutions. You might try cream of celery soup and can of beef consomme. If you give it a try, let me know how it turns out!

Can i do this with a venison roast? Will the time cooked be different ?
Thanks!
Hi Kyleigh!
I haven’t tried this with a venison roast, but think it should work. I would watch it closely the first time you make it and check with a meat thermometer around the 4-6 hour mark. You will want to make sure you don’t dry it out. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!
Aunt Lou
I did try it, cooked for 8 hours on low and was amazing!
I’m so glad to hear it!
THIS IS 5 STAR AWESOME!!! The gravy is SO DELICIOUS, Walter and I LOVED IT!! He has already ask me to make with other meats.
I’m so glad you guys loved it Kim! Momma comes up with the best recipes! You will love it with other meats too!
Aunt Lou
This recipe is the best pot roast I have ever had. I did have to change a few things such as I couldn’t find the beefy mushroom soup so I used golden mushroom instead. I did omit the cheese but it really didn’t need it. Throw everything in a crock pot, don’t even mix it up and it came out so delicious. This is definitely a keeper. FYI I used a 2.65 lb pot roast and it was done in 8 hours.
Great job making it your own Lin! That’s what Momma always does, and she comes up with amazing recipes like this one! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Aunt Lou
This recipe is the best ever……a new number one favorite….even better than Mississippi Pot Roast…..I made it with a rump roast as I did not see a chuck roast that I liked but will do a chuck roast next!!
I’m so glad you like this recipe! Momma is a genius in the kitchen, if you ask me! (I might be biased 😉 ) This is one of my favorite recipes she has come up with for sure! Thank you for your kind words!

This roast looks amazing but can you replace pepper jack cheese with Colby jack or Swiss?
