YankeeMom. . .your recipe for pot roast sounded REALLY good! I will have to try it.

One of my favorite ways to cook a pot roast is in the crockpot. I drop the roast in the crockpot and pour 1/2 of a large bottle of Lime Salsa (Walmart brand) over it and let it cook all day. The salsa makes a spicy sauce with the roast juices and the spicy taste goes all through the pot roast. Everyone who has tried it loves it. I save the remaining 1/2 bottle of salsa for the next roast.

I made this recipe last week and it was delicious. I did add a half bag of frozen diced onions to the crockpot also (I know that frozen onions are not very frugal but they are so easy to use

). I loved it and the leftovers made a great french dip the next day, I just thinned down the leftover gravy with a little beef broth and it was perfect for dipping sandwiches in.

I did this yesterday but used pork spare ribs. It was soooooo good.
Doug took leftovers to work this morning.

This recipe is delicious and easy! Thanks so much for posting it. I served it with mashed potatoes w/roasted garlic & cream cheese...

YUM!

I think this is also found on Recipezaar -- I've tried a To Die For Pot Roast from there ... and it was delicious.

Umm, thanks Heather. This sounds like a winner. I always cook my roasts in the crockpot. I brown my roast on both sides before adding to the crock and then add a can of Cream of Mushroom Soup, a packet of Lipton Onion Soup mix, soup can of water, potatoes, onions, carrots and extra mushrooms if they are on sale. It also makes a really good gravy to serve over rice, noodles or mashed potatoes.

I love a good roast beef sandwich on a toasted bun with mayo and mustard. We also love any leftover gravy served over hot, split biscuits.
