How To Make pot roast

• 1

  In a pan, (a pan that the roast will fit in with a cover on) brown the roast on both sides.
• 2

  In a qt measuring cup, measure the water, add the soup (Dad likes 2 packages) mix together and stir. Pour over the roast, cover and cook for about 3 hours.

  Add potatoes and carrots, cook for an additional 45 minutes. You really have to watch especially if you have a larger roast. When a fork comes out of it easily it is done, so it may take longer.

  Gravy: Take out the roast and let rest while you are preparing the gravy. Take out the potatoes and carrots and put in a bowl, cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. In a small bowl, place about 3-4 Tablespoons of flour and add enough water while stirring constantly to make a slurry. Add some of the broth from the roast slowly to temp the slurry so you do not get lumps in your gravy. Add to broth and stir. Let cook for about 3-5 minutes. You usually do not have to add any other liquid, but you can if the gravy is too thick.
