Roast with Carrots, Potatoes & Onions

Made one of my husband's favorite meals tonight.  A simple roast with carrots, potatoes and onions.  So easy to prepare and fix and so yummy.  Makes you house smell wonderful!



The recipe is so easy.  Take a beef roast and add salt, pepper, garlic powder.  With a little oil in the pan, sear the meat really well on both sides.  Put your roast in pan and add cut potatoes, carrots and onions.  I like to add a gravy mix packet, a little water (1/4 cup), salt & pepper, 2 whole peeled garlic cloves and a few tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce.  Cover with foil and bake 300 for 4-5 hours.  

Sometimes I will change it up and add a Lipton Onion Soup mix packet or different herbs such as thyme and rosemary.  Honestly, you don't have to add anything but salt & pepper and it would still be good.

If you have left-overs from your roast, turn it into stew.  In a pot put your roast, 1 can of diced tomatoes, leftover carrots & potatoes and a can of peas.  2 cups of water and a brown gravy packet. Cook on simmer for a few hours and serve over rice.

On the rare occasion, I will even have stew left over.  I take that and make homemade vegetable soup. Just add more water and more veggies like green beans, corn, and whatever vegetables you need to use up.  Bring to a boil and let simmer for a couple of hours.  During the last 30 minutes add a handful of macaroni.
