Use chuck roast or other pot roast cut in this recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 3 to 4 lb pot roast (chuck, top round, rump, etc.)
  • 2 large onions; cut in chunks
  • 4 potatoes, cut in long quarters with or without the peelings
  • 4 carrots, cut in 2 inch pieces
  • 1 can condensed mushroom soup mixed with 1 can water
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp each of spices-such as oregano, parsley, basil
  • 2 bay leaves

Preparation:

Put vegetables in bottom of crockpot. Sprinkle pot roast with salt and pepper, then put in pot. Add soup, water, and spices. Cover and cook on Low 10 to 12 hours. (High: 4 to 5 hours). Remove meat and vegetables with spatula. Remove bay leaves before serving.

VARIATIONS:
German Style: Add 3 to 4 medium dill pickles and 1 teaspoon dill weed to the recipe. Italian: Replace water with 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce; use 1 teaspoon oregano and 1 teaspoon oregano for herbs. Without Vegetables: Season roast with salt, pepper and any other favorite seasonings. Add no liquid. Cook as directed.

*To keep tops of meat and vegetables moist when cooking smaller amounts, rub 1 tablespoon of butter or oil over the roast.
Sometimes just for a change, I use sweet potatoes in place of regular potatoes. The sweet potato I usually peel.
