Momma's Roast!

Pretty easy to whip together, even though it does take a few hours to cook, it is a very tender meal. I made this for my husband's friend a couple weeks ago and he wanted more!! He thought that the gravy was very good, and it really is soooo very simple. This is a must have recipe for your cooking rotation. My mom has been making this for years!!
