1 Large roast (4-5lbs)
2 packages of lipton onion soup mix, or any onion soup mix, it really doesn't matter
Lots of time:)
Potatoes amount depends how much crock pot room you have
Baby carrots, or regular carrots, but you have to cut them, amount also depends how much crock pot room you have
About 2-3 cups of water
Salt and pepper to taste

Place roast into crock pot cover with water just until the roast is submurged.
Pour 1 package of onion soup mix over roast and water.
Cover and cook for 2 hours.
Turn roast, add another half of a packet of soup mix over roast...
cook for 2 more hrs.
Taste soup mix...is it too salty? Add water. Is it not flavorful enough? Add the rest of the soup mix.
Cook for at least another hour. I notice the longer I cook it the more tender it becomes. Also, it it is not submurged in the water it tends to dry out...not good, so even if you need more than 2-3 cups of water, keep adding it (but you shouldn't need it if you keep it covered).
1 hour before dinner time peal and cut potatoes into about 1 inch slices (the long way) and place in crock pot submurged in onion soup mix
Also add carrots 1 hour before dinner.
You may salt and pepper to taste
