I cook with my senses. This talent was passed down from my unmistakably Italian grandmother. Not every recipe is Italian in origin, but every drop of that spirit and love for cooking is. Best of all there are no fancy techniques, and everything is either already in your kitchen or a quick add to your grocery list. Canned soups, veggies, sauces and dressings CAN make a meal easy and delicious. Mangia Tutto! (Eat Up!)

Perfect Pot Roast
What you need:
4 1/2 lbs Beef Roast
2 cans Sliced Carrots
2 cans of Potatoes
1/4 cup Soy Sauce
1/4 cup Vinegar (i use rice, but apple cedar vinegar will work)
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1 cup Water
Salt and Pepper
How you do it:
Turn crock pot to high
Salt and pepper the meat and place in cooker
then add remaining ingredients
Leave on high for 5 to 6 hours
When ready take 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid to a separate pan and add 2 TBSP flour
Cook flour well then add remaining cooking liquid to pan for gravy
Why it's so good:
This is my absolute favorite pot roast. It's easy preparation and unique flavor is really quite perfect. The carrots, vinegar and soy sauce mellow into the beef broth that comes off the meet making for a savory gravy. The meat should be falling apart, the gravy will have a orange tint to it and the best part to can put everything in the pot and do what you have to do until it's time to eat.
Enjoy and Mangia Tutto!
