Mom's Pot Roast

If you know me then you know I am not a big meat eater and I very rarely eat red meat, but my husband LOVES pot roast so I finally broke down and made it for him a few weeks ago. My mom swears by this recipe and it is super easy!

Chuck Roast (how ever much you need for your family)
1 packet of Liptons Onion Soup mix
Carrots
Potatoes

Put the chuck roast in the crock pot and sprinkle the packet of onion soup mix over it (cooked it on low from about 8:30 till I got off work at 6 and it was ready to go.) About an hour before it was done I put in the carrots and potatoes. I made it tonight and did mashed potatoes instead. You may think it is weird not to add any water or liquid to the roast but I promise when it is done it is nice and juicy and falling apart! My co-worker also made it for dinner tonight and she just text me that it is the best pot roast she has ever had! So try it, you won't be disappointed! (I should mention that I did add cajun seasoning to the roast also for a little kick!)
