A couple of weeks ago I made a Pot Roast in the Crock-pot over at my moms, I love mashed potatoes so I rarely put anything but the roast and seasonings in it, but, just for a change I covered the bottom of my Crock-pot with onion petals next the carrots and last the potatoes I seasoned them with some Paula Deens Seasoning Salt tweeked  I mix 1 cup of  Salt 1\2 cup Pepper 1\2 cup Garlic Powder and use it a lot! Then I put the Roast in on top of the veggies adding just enough water to put moisture in ( Less than a cup )  And then I seasoned it with the same seasoning as before. After letting it cook on high until the meat pretty much falls a part Taking the meat out I took all the potatoes( with the goodness of the roast drippings ) I mashed them with butter and milk just like mashed potatoes. MOM LOVE IT! Hope the twist might help someone out who has the Pot Roast Blues.
