Easy Pot Roast Recipe for Oven

Crockpot Pot Roast or Slow Cooker Pot Roast Recipe

Let me start by saying this easy pot roast recipe can easily be a slow cooker roast recipe or an oven pot roast.

My gramma's easy pot roast recipe is the best! She used to make roast, potatoes, and carrots every Sunday when we we children. I still remember how the smell would flood my senses when we would open the door.

The BEST way to do it is to put it in cooking at lunch time of the evening you want it (if you're using an oven). If you're cooking a roast in the crock pot, put it on low all day. So here's what you need for that delicious just like grandma would cook it Sunday dinner.

What you need:

• 3 to 4 pound Rump or pork roast
• potatoes
• carrots (you can save time by using baby carrots)
• package of onion soup mix, such as Liptons
• package of brown gravy mix
• can of cream of Mushroom soup, such as Campbell's
• salt
• water

Directions:

1. Take a large pan (if you have a cast iron dutch oven...it's the best!) and put your meat in with the FAT side UP.



2. Next wash a few potatoes, depending on how big your pan is, how many it can hold. Add in some carrots.



3. Now sprinkle the dry brown gravy mix and the dry onion soup mix all over the meat, potatoes, and carrots. Give it a generous sprinkling of salt, spoon the mushroom soup evenly over the contents, then fill the soup can up with water and add it to the pan. Put a tight lid on it (that heavy cast iron one worked so well) or cover very tightly with heavy duty foil.



4. Roast Cooking Time or Pork Roast Cooking Time:

Cook in a 225 oven for 6 hours.

You can do turn this into a crock pot roast recipe or a slow cooker roast recipe too. Just follow the above directions, and cook on low all day. I've tried them both, and I prefer the oven for some reason, but whatever your preference.

This makes a rather delicious "gravy" all by itself, but if you'd like to thicken it into a real roast gravy. Here's how. Roast gravy
