The tomatoes in this recipe give the pot roast a different flavor.

Answer 2

Cut the roast into chunks (depending on how many people you are feeding)...Place each chunk of roast on a piece of aluminum foil with diced pieces of potatoe, carrots, onions, cherry tomatoes, etc, a tab of butter, salt and pepper. Wrap up and cook at 375 for about an hour (check to make sure done). This gives everyone an individual meal. It's just a neat way to do it.

I always do my roast in the crockpot using my grandmother's recipe......

Take roast, rinse well & place in bottom of crockpot. Add cut up potatos, carrots & onions. Over top, add 1 pkg lipton onion soup mix, 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1 soup can of water, minced garlic, salt & pepper and 1 stick butter. Cook on low for about 8 hours - meat will fall apart when done.......I like to serve with fresh coleslaw & homemade cornbread.........Don't forget the sweet tea!!

Ummm roast potatoes with lots of different herbs. Cook them slowly in a bit of olive oil and add paprika, chilli powder, oregano and any other herbs and spices you facny! They turn out delicious.
Also why not try stir-frying some brocoli, its diffeent and alot tastier than boiled.
