Mom's Pot Roast image

My greatest inspiration to learn how to cook came from my mom. She was always feeding everyone, and that's why I know only how to cook for a crowd. This recipe accommodates either, but leftovers are great for sandwiches or a hearty barley soup.-Dorothy Duder, North Hollywood, California
