That's pretty much how I do it too. I use onion salt instead of onion soup though.

MY pot roast is fairly simple too. I just cube some potatoes and cut some carrots throw the roast and the veges in the crockpot cover with water and let it go. I put a lot of salt and onion salt in it too. I don't like real onions so that's why I use onion salt so much. OH and most people wait til the end to put the veges in but I don't they do get softer but I just don't want to go back at the end and put them in. Oh and don't forget to save the water/juices and make gravy. I usually make it on the weekend and will put it on high in the morning and we will eat a late lunch with it then have leftovers for dinner as well.

That's how I do my roasts too!! We must have went to the same cooking school....LOLOL I don't like onions either, blah! But I am going to try the onion salt. Since I don't really like cooking that well, I usually cook the same stuff all the time. With all these new recipes, most are so easy.. I am going to try quite a few that have been posted. I just copy and pasted them in my Word and printed them out on index cards.

Have you guys ever tried the lipton onion soup mix in it it's yummy i just throw a roast in the crock pot put a little water in and put in a pack of the lipton onion soup mix it flavors it without all the onions (but i love onions) it's so good!!

[Janet]

I've never put a whole packet in, but I have put probably about a tablespoon or so. I'm just not big on the onion flavor, but the boys are.

My son loves onions too. He even takes them off of his sandwiches so he can geet their full flavor all by themselves. He sure didn't get that from me.

Horseradish Meatloaf

2 pound Ground chuck or sirloin
3/4 cup Oatmeal
1 Oinion
1/2 cup of Catsup
1/4 cup of Milk
2 Eggs
1 tablespoon Horseradish
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teasponn Pepper


1/2 cup of Catsup
1 Tablespoon of Horseradish for glaze
3 tablespoon Brown sugar
2 teaspoon Mustard (prepared) or Dijion mustard



Combine first 9 ingredients;shape into 2 7.5 x 4" loaves. Place on a lightly greased rack of a broiler pan;bake at 350 degrees for 40 min. Combine 1/2 cup of catsup, 1 tablespoon horseradish and remaining ingredients; spoon over meatloaf and bake an additional 5 min.



I usually just make one big loaf instead of the 2. Then i usually cook it for a good hour or so. Put the topping on and just stick it back into the oven till the sauce has make a nice glaze. I have to admit that I thought it would be nasty with a sweet glaze but man was I wrong. It is really good and it is a nice change from the typical tomato sauce. I usually boil a few red potatoes to go with it or either I mash them. Makes for a good meal!
