Petrini's Italian Pot Roast image

A slow-cooked pot roast recipe my mother found over 40 years ago at a local grocery store. Super fast and easy to throw together and makes the house smell wonderful as it slowly simmers on the stove top. I've tried it in the crock pot and it just doesn't turn out as well!
