Love these slow cooker recipes. They get the meat so tender which helps my husband eat it with his dentures. Have recently discovered the addition of tomato paste to lots of recipes deepens the overall flavor of the dish. Have not yet used it on a pot roast but will be making this soon. And the onion gravy sounds wonderful.

This is a regular on my recipe rotation. If I need something easier then I put the large chopped vegetables on the top like carrots and potatoes but if I have more time then I'll make mashed potatoes and gravy. And sometimes I compromise and make red skin smashed potatoes.

I would like to add carrots and chunks of potatoes to the Slow Cooker. At what point would be the best time to do this? Thank you! This makes my mouth 'water' just reading about it! )

If your carrots and potatoes are cut into 2-inch chunks or larger, then add them at the beginning of cook time. If they are cut into 1-inch chunks, then you should add them to the slow cooker 3 hours before end of cooking time.

Very, very good. Followed the recipe almost exactly, the only difference was that I did not add the tomato paste but did add everything else the recipe called for. Instead of the tomato paste, I added an envelope of onion gravy mix and about a cup of water. I did have to add the flour and water mixture at the end of the cooking time to add a bit more thickness to the gravy. The roast and gravy turned out excellently!

Is 1/4 cup of water basically all the moister you add to this roast?

Yes, you only need 1/4 cup of water because when you use a slow cooker covered, the steam increases the liquid in any recipe. Enjoy!
