Jeanne's Notes:

I always loved my Mom's pot roast. She would cook it all afternoon and the house would smell so good when we came home from school, we couldn't wait until dinner time. Since I have always worked, I found a way to get ALMOST the same meal but in a slow cooker. It doesn't have my momma's touch but its as close as I can get. Here is an internet pic of what it looks like.

Directions

Line the Crockpot with the cooking bag. (Makes for easy cleanup)

Mix the dried mixes together in a small bowl.

Place beef roast in crock pot and sprinkle 1/2 of the dry mixture over the roast.

Place vegetables on top of the roast.

Sprinkle remaining dry mixture over vegetables.

Pour the broth around the roast.

Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. You may need to add additional broth if liquid gets too thick.

If adding cabbage, spread it over the top of the veggies and cook for the last hour.

Season with salt and pepper, if needed.

Serve with your favorite hot bread or dinner roll.

You can also do this inside a cooking bag placed into a pan and put in the over.

Yes, I have made it that way also when I could be at home. It's delicious either way.

What is in the dry mix? I don't see it listed in the ingredients.

Ha. OK, ladies....I'm getting senile....it was @ 3:00 am when I posted that and I was going on no sleep for several hours because of illness. I am at work right now but I will check my recipe when I get home and find out exactly what I left out. So sorry for the inconvenience.... ;)

How embarrassing... Ladies, after I reviewed my recipe, I can't imagine what you thought. I so sincerely apologize for such a careless posting. I have gone over the recipe again, comparing my post and my notes on my old hand-written recipe. WOW! I have no excuse except that I, obviosly, did not have my head in the project at the time and I did not proof-read my original post. I believe I have made all necessary corrections. Please accept my appologies and I will do my best to proof my posts in the future.
