America's Favorite Pot Roast

My girls were saying we were having chicken too much lately so I made one of their favorite dishes. This is a very simple and easy dish. I did not add mushrooms and used more potaotes red ones from my garden that were not very large but equaled about 6 potatoes and I put in 3 more carrots. I had a bowl of vegetables that I did not take a picture of. I hardly ever use salt in cooking and everyone adds salt later but left it in the recipe.
