Pot Roast

Fall...crisp days, trees changing, Halloween, Thanksgiving and lots of comfort food. This is my absolute favorite time of year!!! I love to cook. I especially love the way the house smells when there's something cooking in the crockpot. Here is one of my family's favorite meals to enjoy during the fall and winter months. I hope you enjoy it, too.

Pot Roast

1 3-5 pound chuck roast, frozen or fresh
1 whole yellow onion, peeled
1 can Beefy Mushroom soup
1 can French Onion soup
1/2 carton beef stock
4-5 medium Yukon gold potatoes, cubed
1 small bag of baby carrots, cut into pieces

Place roast and the following four ingredients in crockpot on Low. Cook for 8 hours (frozen) or 6 hours (fresh). Three hours before serving, add potatoes and carrots to the crockpot. That's it! Serve with spoonbread and a green vegetable.
