Just the best Roast! (and in the Crock Pot!)

I was talking to my friend about how much I love cooking in my slow cooker and she mentioned that her roast dries out in hers so she makes it in the oven. I had no idea roast could dry out in a slow cooker because I've always used my mom's recipe. It always turns out juicy, falling apart and "soppin' on your roll" good!  So, here it is, I don't know where my mother got this recipe, but it's delicious.  Now, it does include canned soup, and I know that it's not the best for you so I promise next time I make it, I will try this recipe for making your own cream of 'whatever' soup to replace it and see how it turns out!
Just the Best Roast Recipe
1 Boneless Beef Roast of your choice
6-8 Small Red Potatoes cut in halves/quartered
Medium bag of baby carrots
1 medium sliced yellow onion
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 cans of water from soup can
Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Powder to taste

Place the roast frozen or fresh into your slow cooker, place your veggies and sliced onion on top and around the sides. Pour the soups and water in, sprinkle on your spices and place on low for 6-8 hours.  When I get home, I stir the gravy/sauce and make sure its blended together and your roast should just fall apart as you stir.  At the first cold snap of the year, my stomach calls on me to make this scrumptious comfort food!  Enjoy!
Sorry, I don't have an "after" photo before we ate it, it just goes that fast!
