53 Mondays – Week 39

What’s “53 Mondays” all about?  Read about it HERE. 

Just a few days late.  I actually had a few new recipes this past week, so I’ll post them as I get time, but this was so good!  I combined two recipes from the Favorites cookbook (why don’t you have your own yet?).

 

OLD FASHIONED POT ROAST (adapted from Favorites)

One (3 to 5 lb) beef roast

Salt and pepper

One (10 oz) can cream of mushroom soup

1 package dry onion soup mix

One (10 3/4 ounce) beef gravy (I used Franco-American)

1/2 cup brown sugar

3 TBSP vinegar

2 TBSP soy sauce

1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

4 large potatoes, quartered

4 carrots, cut into inch pieces

8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms (I used a container, so I’m not sure if it was more than 8 ounces, but does it matter?)

 

Heat small amt of oil in large pan.  Season beef with salt and pepper.  Brown beef evenly.

Mix together soups and seasonings.  Pour over roast in Crockpot. 

Put veggies on top and season with salt and pepper. 

Cook on low for 12 hours or high heat for 6 – 7 hours.

Take roast out when cooked.  Strain gravy to get rid of lumps.  Serve with veggies. 

 

This really was so easy and dare I say foolproof?  And delicious.  It was so moist and delicious and just fell apart when serving!  YUM!

Sorry…no photo.  Too busy serving dinner!  : )
