Comfort During a Hurricane

After driving arround running errands all morning with HERMINE determined to pound rain on my parade, I took comfort at my stove(what is wrong with me??). Having meat thawed, I put on a pot roast for supper, only to find I had no taters. You can't have pot roast without the taters, especially for a man-pleasing-meal. Being the queen of kitchen improv, I scuttled a sweet potato hiding in the produce basket, added carrots, and for you fans out there, I decided to call it 'Longhorn' Pot Roast with all the orange in the bottom of the roaster. However, we have Aggies in this family, so I added fresh beets...it's the 'rock-beats-scissors' principal...the beets turned everything maroon. Sorry Bevo. Gig-em Ags!!!

Recipe:

SusieQ's Pot Roast

1 3lb Beef Shoulder (only) Roast
5 med Taters
7 Carrots
1 can Crm Mushroom Soup

In a terrific Magnalite oval roaster, singe the meat in a little bacon grease. You can use Canola or evoo for you purists. Season the meat first with sea salt, fresh gr pepper, and a little McCormicks Steak seasoning. Once browned, remove meat, deglaze pan with a little water, add crm mush soup, stir. Place roast back into pan, turning to coat. Add veggies, turning to coat. Season veggies. Cover. Bake 300 degrees for 4 hours. Perfect every time!
