1 roast (large for the 9-10 I cook for)

2 family sized cans of cream of mushroom soup

1 packet of dry onion soup mix

Rice

I put the roast and soup mixes, no water or milk of any kind, into the crockpot first thing in the morning. I start the rice about an hour before eating. If I can find it, I use Thai rice I call sticky rice that is steamed and we make into balls to dip into the gravy. Otherwise I use jasmine scented rice and just put the gravy over it.

The easiest way I've found to make the rice is to put Two cups of rice into a pan, with the jasime it takes less water so instead of 4 cups of water I use 3 (1 1/2 cup to 1 cup instead of 2 to one), bring to a boil. Cover and turn the burner off. Usually it is done in 20-30 minutes.

An easy meal that my family really likes. A friend of mine sometimes uses one can of the mushroom and one can of cream of broccoli to change it up.

For a smaller amount I've used a small roast and the regular sized cans of soup. It works but with the army I feed have had to go up in the size of can. We mostly like the gravy over the rice, I'm not one for roast at all and don't do the meat. I have tried to use both packets of the onion soup mix but have found that one is what we preferr, the original recipe was two regular sized cans of soup and one packet. Upping the size can was enough to get the amount of gravy we need.
