I  recently bought a pot roast, the sale price was to good to turn down.  I was so excited.  A pot roast, what a great meal to share with the family.  Sunday, the family and the pot roast.  I was reminded of when my mom would make a roast for Sunday dinner, I miss those Sunday gatherings. Whatever happened to the Sunday dinner time?   I digress, back to the pot roast.

Now, I had to search the web for a  recipe.  The recipe had to be easy, love easy, and hopefully delicious.  

The best thing about  pot roast  is that everything goes into one large pot…now that is easy.  One pot, one meal,  one family.

After a few clicks of the mouse I found this great recipe.

This pot roast ended up to be a hit with the family and I certainly plan on making it again.

So, if you are looking for a pot roast recipe, try this one.  I am sure you will not be disappointed.  Enough said here is the recipe.
