Easy Pot Roast

Always a tender choice, this pot roast features classic flavors of onion and a bit of barbecue.

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 boneless beef bottom round roast

OR beef chuck pot roast  (about 3 pounds)

2 cans (10 1/2 ounces each) Campbell's® Brown Gravy with Onions

2 tablespoons barbecue sauce  (optional)

1 pounds whole baby carrots, green tops removed, cut into 2-inch pieces

  • Heat the oil in a 6-quart saucepot over medium-high heat.  Add the beef and cook until well browned on all sides.  Pour off any fat.
  • Stir the gravy and barbecue sauce, if desired, in the saucepot and heat to a boil.  Reduce the heat to low.  Cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Add the carrots to the saucepot.  Cover and cook for 1 hour or until the beef is fork-tender.  Serve the beef with the gravy.

    Fantastic. I cut the recipe in half since I only feed two people and we took the leftovers for lunch the next day. I didn't brown the meat...I just threw it in the crockpot with a can of beef gravy, barbecue sauce and then I added potatoes to the top for "baked" potatoes. I will be making it a lot. It's so easy and good.

    This Pot Roast is a great spin, especially with a hint of the bar-b-que sauce. It doesn't overpower it, it just adds that little smokey "tasty" taste! I searched for an alternative recipe to my father in laws, "killed pot roast". It's always overdone, no gravy, and it's cooked in a bag. This roast is cooked in a saucepot. Hey, imagine that, a pot roast in a pot? Awesome recipe! thank you campbell's!

    This was a wonderful recipe. I did add the barbecue sauce and it made the gravy very tasty. Everyone is looking forward to the leftovers. I will make this again.

    I made this recipe the other night and my family could not get enough of it. My grandson wanted to know if we could have it again the next night. It was easy to make and very tasty.
