Crock Pot Pot Roast with Potatoes and Carrots

Making a pot roast in the crock pot is one of my favorite ways to cook it. I put it on in the morning and by afternoon the house smells amazing. Sometimes I make mashed potatoes but on the days where I suspect time might be short for getting dinner ready I cook the potatoes with the roast and carrots like I did here.

The roast is under all of the vegetables. I sauted the onions also to get them a little browned before putting the lid on the crock pot.

Remove the juices to a pan to make gravy and it is ready to serve.
