Great Grandmother Kennedy use to make this roast every Sunday! But due to our large family.... she made double! Great Granmother had 11 children.... my mother had 10... So Great Grandmother only knew how to cook large amounts of food. Sure do miss Sunday dinners with Great Grandmother! This is not my photo, but one from the internet.
