GRANNY GRANT'S CROCK POT "POT" ROAST
What a delicious and easy pot roast. We love simple, old-fashioned recipes - especially when they're done in the slow cooker. You can taste the hint of beef flavor but don't be scared of it. The alcohol cooks off and it helps tenderize the chuck roast. Onion soup mix, big chunks of onion, and chopped carrots make the juices...

OLD-FASHIONED POT ROAST
I got this recipe from my mom, a great cook. My sister, dad and I loved it when she made her pot roast. Later, I served this dish in our restaurant for many years. It's a recipe that just says "home cooking."
