Pot Roast in a Bag

Ingredients
3-5 pounds of pot roast
1 package of Lipton onion soup mix
1 roasting bag
5-6 red potatoes or any kind of peeled and sliced potatoes
4-carrots
1 1/2 cup of water
1/4 cup of flour


Preparation
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Pour flour in the bottom of the cooking bag.
Place pot roast in roasting bag and then into a roasting pan.
Slice carrots one inch thick.
Slice red potatoes in half.
Add onion mix on top of pot roast, then vegetables and potatoes.
Pour  the water on top of the pot roast and put a slit through the top of the bag.
Close the end of the bag with the tie that came with the roasting bag.
Bake for 1 1/2 hours depending on the size of the pot roast.
Start checking after an hour of cooking by cutting into the middle of the
roast.

The pot roast should be slightly pink inside. This of course should
be based on one's preference.


Serves 4-6

The flour will thicken the juice from the pot roast
 and this will make a delicious gravy to serve 
with the pot roast.

A slit through the bag will prevent an explosion in your oven.
