Good ole pot roast

[Shada]

I have not made a pot roast in years!!!Love it, one of my favorites.. so tonight is the night. I make it the way my mom does. Put my roast in my new (to me, bought a old large aluminuim roaster at last antique show) roaster, sprinkled it with Lipton's Onion Soup Mix, cleaned carrots, placed to next to meat, added water, sprinkled carrots with sugar.
Cook for 2 hours at 350, add tators, salt and pepper, cook another hour till done.
Simple and tasty.

How does everyone else do theirs? Years ago a friend raved about my carrots, had never liked carrots, but loved mine. I told him I sprinkled with sugar and he had a fit. Would never eat them again!

What can I say? I cook'em like mom... and I love them!

So a question.
Anybody else sugar their carrots in a roast?

No, I have never sugared my carrots, but I'm sure going to next time!

I dust both sides of my roast in flour, salt and pepper and then put some oil in the bottom of my roasting pan (my grandma's ). I brown both sides.

Then I throw in carrots, potatoes, and onions; add some water and I put on the lid and cook it on 250-275 for 3-4 hours (depending on the size of the roast).

When finished, I pull out meat and vegetables and thicken the liquid in the bottom of the pan for gravy.

I usually make more meat and potatoes than we can eat so the next day I cut them all into bite sized pieces and throw in a large can of V8 juice and make beef stew. It is really good! Oh, and also put any leftover gravy in too.

I haven't fixed a roast for a long time either. I just usually put everything in my slow cooker. I might have to do that soon...you ladies are making me hungry for it.

My mother made the absolute best pot roast in the world, but never wrote down her recipe. I wish she had so that I could make it too.
