Pot Roast With Dill Pickles

iris5555's Note:

This recipe is from a Jeff Smith (Frugal Gourmet) cookbook. I often use a chuck roast for this. The original recipe also calls for 3 or 4 dried mushrooms to be added with the other ingredients, but I have never used them.

I have made this often. It is great in the crock pot as well. A very good roast for company. Thanks.
