There is nothing better than a delicious roast that is fall apart tender. A traditional Sunday meal that Mom used to make, it is something that I have embraced too in my cooking. Many people that I talk to love a good roast but do not know how to make one and honestly, it is so easy.
Today, I am sharing the secret to my tender fall apart beef roast that will make your hubby sing your praises to every one and devour it too! This is the roast recipe that my hubby enjoyed the first time I ever cooked for him while we were dating. It sealed the deal! HA
Tender Fall Apart Beef Roast Recipe
Ingredients:
1 Beef Roast 3-4 Lbs
2 Cans of Cream of Mushroom Soup – not lowfat
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder or Granulated
Pepper
Season Salt
2-3 Russet Potatoes
2-3 carrots
Directions: Place the roast in a roaster that has a lid. Season it with your salt, pepper, garlic, and onion – Or you can use a fresh onion later on in the process. Place in a 350 degree oven for about 45 Min – 60 Min to brown.
Once it is browned, cover the top of the meat with the Cream of Mushroom soup. Add about 2 cups of water and cover with the lid. Place back in the oven and let cook for another 45 Min to 60 min.

Place your cut up veggies, including onion, if you choose, into the side of the pan surrounding the roast. Cover and let cook another 30 minutes until the veggies are tender. Your meat at this point should be very tender and fall apart easily.
Note – you may need to adjust your times a bit depending on the thickness of the roast. I usually allow about 2.5 to 3 hours to cook a roast. Keeping the lid on it as much as possible is critical to the success of this dish. Hope you give it a try and enjoy!
I just made this pot roast today and had to chime in that it’s wonderful! I used a 3 1/2 lb. chuck roast and I let it cook for a little over 3 hours. Perfect and delicious.
I had heard from so many different people that you should do a pot roast low and slow so I wondered about the 350*F cooking temp. But sure enough, it came out great. Thanks!
We too also love the Roasts that fall apart tender! So Delicious! Your recipe sound so Good. Its actually a lot like mine only I don’t put cream of Mushroom Soup in it. But it sure sounds Good! The next time I make a Roast which is about once or twice a month, I will use the cream of Mushroom Soup! Thankyou for Sharing your Delicious Sounding Recipe!!
What do you put in your pot roasts? This was my first time adding Cream of Mushroom soup. Usually I’ve used a combo of red wine and water. This was yummy though. Just wondered how you do. Thanks.
This sounds so good!
Going to make it soon.
thanks
I have never seen a pot roast made with a cream sauce. This does look delicious, thank you for sharing this recipe.
I should do this your way! I forgot about the magic of cream of mushroom soup. I just bought some Bear Claws (have you ever seen those?); so I want to tear up some meat!
This looks so good. This is really similar to how we make it, but sometimes we toss it into the slow-cooker instead, lol.
Oh, YES! I love the Cream of Mushroom soup in this! Mushrooms really set off and amplify the flavor of a good roast. Got no hubby, but the rest of my family is going to enjoy this, I can tell you. I love Russet potatoes, too. This recipe has it all. Veggies already in, just serve with a nice salad, and devour! Thanks, pinned and planned. I can’t wait!
Yummmm Enjoy!!
I am going to try this for sure. I am not very good at cooking roasts. I always seem to overcook and comes out stringy or dry even when I use a thermometer. This recipe may help redeem me.
Thank you for this recipe. I’ve been searching for a beef roast recipe like my Mom used to make every Sunday and this might be the one! I bought a vintage Magnalite roaster that I’ll use for this recipe. Can’t wait to try it. What specific kind of beef roast should I buy? A chuck roast as in Pot Roast, or a cut such as Sirloin, Rump or Top Round?
I just used a chuck roast. The soup will help keep it moist
Oops, sorry for not thanking you for your reply. I made it today and used a chuck roast. Delicious.
his is the same way I make mine. I have to agree that you cant use the low fat soup, there is something about the lowfat that just doesnt work as well. I have also added dried onion soup in mine, and that turns out well too.
My mother (and now me) makes a roast like this except she adds a packet of onion soup mix when she adds the mushroom soup.
I love the recipe that has beef and mushroom soup. I would definitely use fresh onions in this recipe and perhaps some celery.
This recipe looks and sounds super good and perfect for this time of year. I think I could actually follow this recipe too. I love home cooking like this and the way it fills the house with that wonderful smell.
