PENNSYLVANIA POT ROAST

Pennsylvania Pot Roast image

This heartwarming one-dish meal is adapted from a Pennsylvania Dutch recipe. I start the pot roast cooking before I leave for church, add vegetables when I get home, and then just sit back and relax until it's done. -Donna Wilkinson, Monrovia, Maryland
