No Fuss Pot Roast With Vegetables


Found in a booklet called no-fuss oven fare. the only thing i change from the original recipe is i add brewed coffee in place of dry red wine. Feel free to use what you would prefer or what is on hand in case you don't have leftover coffee. this can also be prepared in a crock-pot. i have entered those instructions too.
