Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3–4 lb pot roast (chuck or brisket works well)
- 2 cans of condensed mushroom soup
- 1 large white onion, sliced
- 6 cloves garlic, minced or smashed
- 3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 3–4 potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1 tablespoon Italian herbs, or a mix of dried oregano, basil, and thyme
- 1 cup beef stock, water, or beer (for added depth of flavor)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Pat the pot roast dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the roast and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the roast and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
- Stir in the mushroom soup and Italian herbs. Mix well to combine.
- Add the stock (or water/beer) to thin the sauce slightly. Bring to a simmer.
- Return the pot roast to the pot and nestle it into the mushroom sauce. Add the carrots and potatoes around the roast.
- Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low, simmering gently for 3-4 hours on the stovetop, or transfer to a 325°F (160°C) oven and bake for the same amount of time.
- Remove the roast from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice or shred as desired.
- Serve the roast with the carrots, potatoes, and mushroom sauce spooned over the top.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can use beer or beef stock to deglaze the pot before adding the soup.
- This dish is perfect for meal prepping and can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To make this dish even heartier, serve it with a side of crusty bread to soak up the flavorful gravy.
