Crack Pot Roast

It's so easy to make and tastes so good, I call it "crack" pot roast

Ingredients:
4-5 lb beef chuck roast
3 carrots (peeled then cut into 3 large chunks)
2 potatoes (peeled then cut in half)
1 large onion (peeled then cut into 4 large chunks)
2 zucchini (cut off ends then cut in half)
2 packages Lipton Onion Soup Mix (dry seasoning packet)
1 cup water

Directions:
Pour water and 1 onion soup packet into the crock pot. Wash the roast and then place it into the crock pot. Place all of the veggies on top of the meat and sprinkle the second packet over the top of the meat and veggies. Put the lid on and walk away for 5-6 hours. If you are home during the cooking process, then remove the veggies from the pot after 3 hours, so that they don't get too over cooked or mushy. If not then it's OK ... as Rob and Uncle John say ... "it all goes down the same".

** Food Network tip = place cold items into a cold crock pot, place warm items into a heated crock pot !! (Apparently, if you do the opposite and merge hot items and a cold pot then you are inviting salmonella into your dish.)
