"Delicious! Easy! Rich tasting! Even steak & potatoes men will enjoy this tasty twist on pot roast. I try to make this recipe weekly, and it's better the 2nd day. Can be made in Crockpot. Received this from a church member who is a Home Economics professor. I first made this for my boyfriend, who is married to me now...partially for my cooking, he jokes!"
