Genner Pot Roast

If you're reading this, you probably know I'm not exactly the "pot roast" or "crock pot" kind of girl. I don't really like to cook and I'm not very good at it. But, I don't like to eat out very often even more than I don't like to cook so I'll cook to avoid eating out. So I was relaying to my good friend Jenner that I needed some easy dinner ideas and she passed this on to me. I tried it and holy cow is it really good and really easy.
Disclaimer **I did in fact used to make fun of Jenner for using a crock pot back in the day. But, I have since decided that since I'm 29 with one child and one on the way I am now old enough/mom enough to use a crock pot. And I gotta tell you, I'm addicted. These things are just too easy!!!**
So anyway, this recipe got it's name because on the same day Jenner gave me the recipe, she also suggested I name our unborn son Genner. I thanked her for the suggestion and told her I would compromise by naming the pot roast recipe after her. That's almost as good, right? So thanks much Jenner, many good dinners have been made all because of you.

Genner Pot Roast
1 Roast (I've also used pre-cut steak pieces and they work great too)
Potatoes cut into wedges or slices (I use baby red potatoes. SO GOOD!)
Baby carrots
1 Onion cut into wedges like an orange
1 envelope of Lipton french onion soup mix (just the powder)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup of water
Put it all in the crock pot in that order. Mix it around a bit to mix the powder in.
Cook on high for 2 hours and then low for 2 hours OR on low all day (6-8 hours).
It makes a fabulous gravy so I make mashed potatoes to go along with it and it is heavenly!

So I hope I helped someone make a dinner for this week. I would love to hear easy recipes that you love if you care to share!

Loves to all.
