An Easy Pot Roast Recipe!

There’s nothing like a good old fashioned slow cooked roast. I swear it’s like one of my all time favorites! I remember when I was a young girl, my mother would make roast, and sometimes she’d smother it in a creamy gravy. Once that the roast was done she’d serve it with mashed potatoes, and vegetables. OMG, I swear it was the best. If we had any leftovers, she’d make hot roast beef sandwiches the following day, and serve it with soup. I actually do the same thing!

    I am making a pot roast now, using your recipe. I don’t have the packet of herbs though. I believe the herbs to use are basil, parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. How much of each herb should I use? Thank you.

      If I don’t have the packet, I usually freestyle it. Try one of each to start.
