I Stole Karens Toss It In The Crock Pot And Go Roast In Memory Food

TOSS IT IN THE CROCK POT AND GO ROAST

Steps:

• Toss onions, potatoes and then carrots into crock pot.
• Lay meat on top of that (may have to smoosh it in a little).
• Pour on the soup, soup mix and dab the base on top.
• Turn the meat over and then over again, so that some of the soup goes underneath the meat, but some is still coating it.
• Sprinkle with black pepper.
• Cook on low for about 6 hours or so.
• I have made this a few times and have never had to add water-- the soups and meat juices make a lovely thick gravy.
• I make this in a 6 1/2 quart Rival Slow Cooker-- I know it cooks faster than smaller pots.
