Notes
Pot Roast Tips:
- You can use fresh or dried onions (use 1/2 cup of onions if fresh)
- Instead of onions, you could use an onion soup packet
- Add 2 bay leaves for additional flavor
- If your roast is more than 1 1/2 pounds, cut it in half so that it cooks until its tender. If you don't, you will have a tough roast.
