Classic Pot Roast

This is our absolute favorite meal, my husband loves the taste and the way the house smells when I cook it… well, it’s mouthwatering. I love all the extra easy meals I can make out of it. I can usually get 2-3 more meals out of it for our family of four.

My favorite meals to turn the beef into are:

Beef Enchiladas
Crockpot Texas Chili
Vegetable Soup (recipe coming soon)

My family likes the classic sides like wheat rolls,  mashed potatoes, and green peas.  When I find bags of potatoes on sale, I will have a Kitchen Prep Day and pull together some freezer mashed potatoes. I frequently find frozen veggies on sale, so this cuts way down on our overall meal costs.

** You can use any root vegetables you have like; turnip, parsnip, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, mushrooms or celery root. I just throw in what I have on hand. Also, in the picture, I ran out of onions, so I had to put them in after my grocery run, which was only 2 hours before we ate. It still turned out great!
