Yankee Pot Roast

Growing up, this was one of those recipes I looked forward to Mom making! 
The house smelled wonderful and I knew we were always in for a treat. 
Why don't you pull up a pot and give it a whirl?!?!


Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 2 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients:

3 1/2 - 4 lb. beef roast
2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp oil
1 cup water
1 Bay leaf
8-10 small, whole onions
8 small carrots, cut in half
16 oz. tomato sauce with tomato bits

Directions:

1)  Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper.  Brown in hot oil in Dutch oven.

2)  Add 1/2 cup water and bay leaf.  Simmer 1 1/2 hours or until meat is tender; remove fat.

3)  Add vegetables and rest of water; pour on tomato sauce.  Simmer, covered, 1 hour.

4)  Enjoy!

Note:  I use a jar of pearl onions and sometimes add small new or red potatoes and celery with carrots.  If I don't use potatoes, I will serve pot roast with mashed potatoes and a cucumber and onion salad.

Blessings,

     Ellen

    This looks great. I haven't made a traditional roast in several years. This might be the next recipe I try for roast. Thanks for linking up to Hunk of Meat Monday.

    It is so cold and rainy outside right now and this looks like it would be SO GOOD to curl up with by the fire. Stopping by from Tasty Tuesday, everything on here looks so delicious! And I'm currently studying your coupon tactics, I've been wanting to start doing that for a while. Have a great week!

    One thing that I greatly miss is Sunday dinner at grandmas. It was always roast and oh so good!
    She died shortly after the birth of my 3rd child, who is now 20 years old. Over the years I've tried to carry on the tradition several times but I just don't have the stamina she had. Actually it's the changing of the times with the internet and such.

    Hi! Newly following from What's Cooking Wednesdays!

    Pot Roast has always spelled comfort food in my book and yours looks delicious! I love using the little pearl onions in soups and stews too.

    This may just have given me the answer to that age-old question we all ask ourselves... "What will I make for dinner tonight?" Thanks so much for sharing!
