Mom's Sunday Pot Roast

This was a regular Family Sunday Meal. Yum! I can smell it now!



POT ROAST


I usually cook a 4 to 5 roast, but whatever you are using times the pounds by 40 and then divide by 60 to see how long it needs to cook.  Put in oven at 350 degrees for the time needed, putting pepper on the roast.  About an hour before the roast is to come out of the oven, add at least 1 carrot and 1 potato per person.  I usually cook extra because I like leftover’s.  Salt and pepper the meat and vegetables at this time.   Watch and smell to make sure it doesn’t get too dry.  If it is dry or smells, add water to the bottom of the pan.  There should be enough drippings to make gravy.  If not, add water and heat before adding flour and more water, salt and pepper.
