I use to love my mom's pot roast and that is saying a lot cause she was not one who liked to cook. Sadly I didn't ask for the recipe and she now has Alzheimer's and doesn't remember. So I came up with my own and although it's not my mom's it is really delicious. Hope you like it as much as we do. Thanks Monica
