Pot Roast!!!

My mother LOVES Martha Stewart. Mom always is ready to try the newest Martha idea.

Several years ago, I invited some friends to come over for dinner - girls AND boys - and Mom was very worried about what I was going to cook. I was still single, and there were some eligible bachelors in the group coming over for dinner.
Early that morning, Mom and Mary (my sister) just happened to stop by my apartment. Hmmm. They had some groceries. Hmmm. And they asked where I kept my Crock Pot. Hmmm. Mary started cooking, and Mom started cleaning.

They loved me and wanted to help me in my entertaining endeavors. The delicious dish they created was Martha Stewart's Simple Pot Roast. I have made it many times since then!

Martha Stewart's Simple Pot Roast

3 lb pot roast meat (it can be less or more - as long as it fits into your crock pot!)
salt
pepper

4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks (I have used baby carrots before)
5 or 6 red potatoes, cut into chunks (peel if you want to)
1 large onion, sliced (I use yellow or Vidalia)

2 dried bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1 can Campbell's Tomato Soup


Put the carrots, potatoes, and onion in the Crock-Pot. Sprinkle on salt & pepper to taste.
Sprinkle the thyme on top of that, and place the bay leaves on.
Put the hunk of meat on top. Rub it with salt & pepper.


Pour the can of soup directly over the middle of the meat. It will spill over the edges.

Turn the Crock Pot on low for 8 hours, or high for 6 hours.


You will LOVE it!
