As others said, skip the tinned soup. Stock or water is best, with ample seasoning. I generally add a bit of Worcestershire sauce and even MSG to elevate the flavours.
And I’d probably skip the mushrooms too. I don’t think they’ll hold up well in the slow cooker. Fry them up and add them to the final product.
Generally I’d trim some of the fat, but only after cutting up into smaller pieces and before browning.
Some, but not all? I’ve tried before with like a pot roast, just some beef and tomatos but it really wasnt that amazing. Was kind of hoping the soup gives it A) a bit more veg, and B) more of a stew flavor. good call on the mushrooms!
Keeping some of the fat helps during the browning. For more veg throw in carrots and celery. Cheap and filling (tasty too). Season the beef before browning too. And be liberal with the flavours. Rosemary, thyme go well with beef.
