When Travis came home from the field, I wanted to make him one of his favorite meals. I welcomed him home with French Dips, Hash Brown Casserole and Cookie Dough Pizza for dessert.

Here's what you'll need: Roast Water Soy Sauce Rosemary Thyme Garlic Powder Bay Leaf Peppercorns Sub Buns This recipe is so easy to make.

The first time I made this meal, Travis practically broke out in applause he loved it so much. And If I could do a back flip I would have in celebration of such an amazing success of a meal. I love roast beef. I love potatoes. ( I don't think there's a starch I don't like!) I love carrots. And this recipe puts all those things together, but it's not just your normal pot roast recipe. This one is SOOOOO flavorful! It's one of those meals that makes you want to eat slowly to savor each and every bite. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! So let's get on with it, shall we? Here's what Continue Reading
