Mom’s Home-Style Pot Roast

Every mom seems to have her own secret on how to transform a modest chuck roast into a scrumptiously tender pot roast supper. Some add lots of carrots, while others favor parsnips or sweet potatoes. In this recipe, thickly sliced onions and paprika boost the flavor. You’ll have lots of sauce, so make mashed potatoes for soaking it up (see related recipe at left).
