Mama's Pot Roast

5 pound chuck roast (it will shrink don't worry)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
4 garlic cloves
1 packet onion soup mix
s & p to taste
Red potatoes and carrots(optional)
1 cup water

First season your roast.  Warm up a lightly oiled pan and brown both sides of roast(don't completely cook)
Cut slits in the roast and put whole cloves of garlic in each slit.  Place roast in crockpot and pour the soup, water and soup mix on top.  If you would like to add the potatoes and carrots, put them in now.  Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-8.

I love making gravy with the drippings.  All you have to do is mix equal amounts of cornstarch and cold water, salt and pepper then mix it in with the gravy and it will thicken up. 

Enjoy!
