Good family foods

[southerenmama]

A couple ideas for those of you with large families. Family of 8 myself.

Roast

1. 4lb roast , any cut you like
2. 1 and 1/2 lbs. small red potatos
3. small bag baby carrots
4. 4 family size cans cream of mushroom soup
5. seasoning salt
6. pepper

In a large crock pot place roast. Dust with seasoning salt and pepper. Add cans of soup, 2 on each side of roast. Slice potaos in half and spread around roast. Add carrots whole. Fill with enough water to fill half way, you can add more as needed.

Cook for 8 to 16 hours on low. If cooking for longer period wait untill half way to add veggies. This way the meat is supper tender, but the veggies aren't mush.

Bake a few rolls to sop up the gravy and enjoy
