This is a fairly straight forward “recipe,” it is really just something I throw together.
Use your favorite cut of beef for pot roast. I usually use a Top Round or Bottom Round, the less tender of a cut, the better. Buy more than you think you will need, because it is even better the next day!
Depending on how much meat you use, you will want to at least double the recipe for Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup.
For a double batch of the Condensed Mushroom Soup, add 1 packet of Lipton’s Onion Soup Mix (add a second if you want more onion flavor) to the Condensed Mushroom Soup.
UPDATE: Lipton’s Onion Soup Mix is NO LONGER GLUTEN FREE!! An alternative is to try making your own homemade onion soup mix, just be sure that the beef bouillon you use is gluten-free (many brands do contain gluten). If you’d rather avoid using beef bouillon altogether, here’s an alternative homemade bouillon-free onion soup mix recipe from Angela’s Kitchen.
- Brown the beef in canola oil, approximately 7 minutes per side.
- Transfer the beef to a slow cooker.
- In a bowl, add the Onion Soup Mix to the Condensed Mushroom Soup, mix well. Add some water to thin it about a bit, I used 3/4 cup of water. Stir.
- Add soup mix to the slow cooker, cover and set to slow cooker to low for 8 hours or until tender.
I served this with mashed potatoes…
I use a potato ricer to make my homemade mashed potatoes. If you have never used one of these, I HIGHLY recommend it! I also use Fat Free Half & Half or Buttermilk, which really add to the creaminess of the mashed potatoes: NO LUMPS!
and Roasted Butternut Squash with Herbes de Provence
and a Strawberry Jello Salad which I will post the recipe for soon!
And welcome to my blog!
Whether you're here looking for advice on how to go gluten free (with delicious kid-approved recipes of course!), or to read some of the latest medical research on celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity...or even to read about one woman's rise from the depths of gluten-free despair to a place of downright enthusiasm, it makes no matter. The point is, you are here now so let's have some fun!
Hi there!
I came across your blog and saw that you enjoy healthy cooking and experimenting with new recipes that don't contain Gluten. Stonyfield Farm makes Oikos Organic Greek yogurt which can be used in a variety of ways while cooking – in baking, as a substitute for sour cream and mayonnaise, in dips and sauces and to create tasty low-fat dishes. Greek yogurt is strained, making it thicker and more versatile in recipes than regular yogurt. Our Oikos Greek yogurt contains no gluten- it’s certified gluten free! It's also organic, which means it's made without artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners, and it's made from organic milk produced without the use of toxic persistent pesticides, chemical fertilizers, antibiotics, or artificial growth hormones (rBST). We feel that organic is not only better for you, but better for the planet as well.
I'd love to send you coupons to give Oikos a try. If you 're interested, shoot me an email at kdrociak@stonyfield.com and let me know where to send them.
Thanks!

FYI~
The onion soup packet and condensed mushroom soup both contain monosodium glutamate, therefore this is not a gluten free recipe.
Kim,
MSG does not contain gluten and the condensed mushroom soup is homemade (not from a can) and its a gluten free recipe. 🙂
Hi, I want to make this for my gluten-free friend for dinner. However, on the Lipton onion soup mix box, it says it contains barley and was made in a facility that processes wheat… is there such a thing as gf onion soup mix?
Hi LizzieGirl!
I am so thankful you left this comment on my blog, I completely forgot this recipe was on my blog and I never updated the post when Lipton's Onion Soup Mix ceased being gluten-free back in 2010 . I just updated the post and included a couple links to recipes for making your own onion soup mix.
Thank you again for bringing this to my attention.
