Canberry Roast!

Tonight  made the best dinner I have ever made in my entire life!!!!!!!  I made a super duper yummy, tender, fall apart, juicy, flavorful Cranberry Roast!! I am very proud of myself!!!!  I have always been afraid to dare try cooking a roast or a turkey or anything like that.  It's big and easy to mess up in my opinion.  But I did it!!

Recipe as written
Any Roast
2 cans of whole cranberry sauce
1 packet of onion soup mix (powder)

Recipe how I made it
A Roast
2 cans of whole cranberry sauce
About 2 cans of water
1 packet of onion dip mix (powder)
Half a bag of baby carrots
Half an onion chopped into large pieces
4 Red potatoes chopped into large pieces

Directions as written
Mix powder and berries and pour over the roast in the crockpot.
Cook on Low 12 hours or High 8 hours
30 minutes before serving break meat up with a fork
Can be done with a Chicken or a Turkey as well, if you do it with a chicken or turkey add a Catalina Dressing to it. (Not sure if that is addded to the cranberries or in place of)

My Directions
I of course started with my crock pot liner in the crockpot.
Then I poured about half a bag of baby carrots in the bottom of the crockpot to make sure the roast didn't burn on the bottom.
I put the Roast on top of the carrots.
I chopped up half an onion and 4 red potatoes into large pieces and put them all around and on top of the roast.
Poured about 2 cups of water into the bottom of the crockpot to help make sure there was enough liquid. I'm still not sure if this was needed or not, but it certainly didn't hurt anything.
Then I mixed the Onion dip mix and the cranberry sauce cans together and poured that over the roast.
I cooked it on High for 8 hours. (next time I would like to try it on low for 12 hours but I didn't have that kind of time today.)
When it was all done I put the roast and all the veggies into a pyrex dish to make it easier to serve and to get rid of all the liquid in the crockpot. 
Instead of breaking it up with a fork I just cut it into slices.

This was SO SO SO good!!! And SO SO SO EASY!!!!!!!!!!!  If I can cook a Roast you can to!
I am So glad that I cooked the veggies in with the Roast for a couple reasons...
1. I didn't have to cook any sides when I got home from work. They were already cooking with the meat.
2. The potatos sucked up the cranberry sauce and were honestly the BEST potatoes I have ever had!  They were SO yummy!  And the carrots didn't get mushy, which I usually end up cooking them to mush accidentally.  They were still kind of hard. SO GOOD!!!!

Tom's first bite, his eyes got very big and he said, "WOW Dear this is AMAZING!!!!!!!"  I've never had such a big reaction from him before. (Gold star for me!)  We both gave it 5 stars, and cannot wait for leftovers tomorrow!
