Instructions

Preheat Oven & Prepare Roast
Begin by preheating your oven to 275°F (135°C). Select a large casserole dish that will comfortably fit your roast. -
-
Season the Roast
Place the roast in the casserole dish. Sprinkle salt and pepper generously over the meat, ensuring even coverage on all sides. This seasoning enhances the natural flavors and adds depth to the gravy. -
Arrange Carrots
Next, arrange the carrots around the roast. The carrots will not only infuse the meat with flavor but also serve as a side dish for your meal. Feel free to use whole carrots or cut them into chunks, depending on your preference. -
Add Water
Pour 1 cup of water into the casserole dish. The water will help create steam during the slow cooking process, ensuring that the roast remains juicy and tender. -
Top with Soups
Open the cans of cream of onion soup and cream of potato soup. Do not dilute them with water as these soups will create a rich gravy that complements the roast perfectly. Pour the soup evenly over the roast and carrots. -
Cover and Bake
Cover the casserole dish tightly with a lid or aluminum foil to trap the moisture. Place the dish in the preheated oven and let it cook slowly for 5 hours. The long cooking time at low temperature will break down the fibers in the roast, making it incredibly tender and flavorful. -
Final Touches
After 5 hours, remove the casserole from the oven. The roast will be beautifully browned, and the soup mixture will have turned into a thick, velvety gravy. Serve the roast with the carrots and pour the rich gravy over the meat for added flavor. -
Serve and Enjoy
Slice the roast and serve it with the tender carrots and the savory gravy. This roast pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread for soaking up the flavorful gravy. Enjoy!
Pro Tips for Perfect Roast
-
Meat Choice: Choose a good-quality cut of roast, such as a shoulder roast or chuck roast, which become wonderfully tender when slow-cooked. You can also use a lean cut, but make sure to adjust cooking times accordingly.
-
Adding Vegetables: You can customize the vegetables in this dish. Try adding potatoes, onions, or even parsnips to the casserole for a heartier meal.
-
Gravy Variations: For an extra creamy gravy, you can mix in a tablespoon of heavy cream just before serving, or use a bit of flour to thicken the gravy if needed.
