            Pot Roast

What a wonderful way for a family get-together than to have a pot roast

bubbling on the stove when they come in to visit. 

The smell of a cooking roast is incredible and imprint in the mind forever as memorable.

This is Laura Moody's family's favorite dinner.  They always ask for this.  Hope you enjoy it.

 

 1 roast beef 3-5 lbs.

 2 pkgs. Onion soup mix

 1 can jellied cranberry sauce

 6 potatoes-cut into chunks

 1 lb. bag of baby carrots

 

Put about ¼ inch of water in the bottom of the crock-pot.  Put roast in and sprinkle 1 pkg. of onion soup mix over top.  Spoon cranberry sauce over top of roast next.  Cook on high for 1 ½ hours.  Add cut up potatoes and baby carrots on and around roast.  Sprinkle second pkg. of onion soup over veggies.  Continue to cook on high of 4 more hours. Use the sauce as a gravy.  And don't forget to have some horseradish available on the table for those who like to spice it up a little.
