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!

- 2-3 carrots, roughly chopped

Thanks for this, we are totally on the same page! I have never done a pot roast but had all my ingredients out & saw this! And then an added bonus…my hubby & I were just talking about what we could do with the head of cabbage in our fridge, when I saw your blog & recipes for cabbage! THANK YOU!
I have a great vegetable soup recipe if you need one.Thats what I always do with my pot roast leftovers.
THis is my one of my husband’s favorite too! THe Lipton onion soup mix does have MSG in it . I have found that the target brand (Market Pantry) doesn’t have MSG so I try to buy that one if I can.
