My husband and I were chatting one day about the things our mother’s made that we loved. We went down the list and when we got to Sunday dinner, we both said, Pot Roast! Well that got things going in my head. I haven’t made a pot roast in so long!!
Can you guess what we had for dinner that Sunday?
And the house smelled so wonderfully delicious for hours. A wonderful way to end the weekend -with a hearty, heart-warming meal and the cozy feeling of family.
Here’s How to Do it:
Dry the roast and liberally rub with salt and pepper.
Heat the oil in the bottom of a heavy dutch oven. Brown the beef on both sides.
Add the other ingredients to the pot,
adding the soup last.
Cover and bake at 325° for about 3 hours, or
until the potatoes are soft and the beef comes apart with a fork.
Serve hot with the gravy from the bottom of the pan.

The quintessential Sunday dinner. Homey and warm - a perfect family dinner
