I have made this so many times. It is a family favorite! I would like to make this for a sick friend who is gluten free. Paula, what can I use instead of the condensed cream of mushroom soup?

I have made this pot roast many times but this recipe is a little different as it does not include worcestershire sauce. My recipe was from her 2005 cookbook Paula Deen’s Kitchen Classics. Excellent roast and won’t use any other recipe!

On the pot roast, if using a wet base instead of bouillon cubes how much of the wet base?

January 31, 2022

1 teaspoon of wet base is equal to 1 bouillion cube!

Gluten Free Version?

You can purchase gluten free ingredients at some specialty stores, such as gluten-free cream of mushroom soup!

How much water should be added? Should the entire roast be submerged or half way up? Thanks!

Submerged!

Submerged! Though add all other ingredients first.

How long do you cook it for in the oven and what temperature?

The Deen Team

December 10, 2020

Try cooking it, covered, at 325?F for about 2 hours. You will want to keep an eye on it though and be sure to measure the temperature to ensure it reaches at least 160?F at the thickest part of the meat.

Is this the same recipe she uses in her restaurant in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee?

Yes, it sure is! The only difference is that they use a Burgundy wine instead of Chardonnay!

If I add carrots and potatoes should I add at the beginning or wait a few hours?

We would recommend adding them in for the last 2 hours!
