Pot Roast Recipes

When the weather turns chilly and you want comfort food, try this pot roast recipe with carrots and potatoes. You are in for a real treat! It's been a family favorite that my mother-in law has made over the years.

A few of the great things about this pot roast recipe are......one pot meal, easy to put together in the morning, slow cook all day for a really flavor filled dinner. Just bake heat-n-serve rolls or add a side of apple sauce to make it complete.

Even if you don't like cooked carrots you will change your mind after you taste these carrots. Slow cooking the carrots along with the roast, cream of mushroom soup and onion soup adds so much flavor.

Add potatoes and let them cook all day to soak up the same good flavors or make mashed potatoes. The gravy is yummy and just needs a little thickening at the end.
