LAZY DAY POT ROAST - Crock pot

Category: Roasts/Tenderloin - Beef

1 boneless roast (rump, chuck, or other pot roast cut), about 3 to 4 lbs, trimmed
salt and pepper
garlic powder
4 to 6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
4 carrots, cut in 1-inch chunks, or use 1 1/2 to 2 cups baby carrots
1 large onion, cut in large chunks
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk

Place roast in bottom of crock pot; sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add potatoes, carrots, and onions. Pour both cans of soup over onion layer. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours. Combine sour cream and milk; stir into the juices and continue cooking for 20 minutes, until heated through. Serves 4 to 6, depending on size of roast.

NOTE: If the juices need to be thickened a little more, blend some flour with a little water to make a smooth, thick mixture. Transfer juices to a saucepan. Slowly stir some into the simmering or boiling liquid until thickened as you like it.
