Mix together liquids and then add spices to taste. I just put enough in so that it "looked" good. I generally followed what is above, but didnt measure it out...just dumped till it was just right. :) Marinate pot roast 2 - 4 hours. Cover roast with onions, bake roast 1 - 1/2 hours, add potatoes and carrots and bake for another 35-45 minutes or until potatoes are soft.. Remove roast and vegetables. Strain drippings, to remove unwanted spices and make gravy. NOTES : This recipe was taken from various recipes that had some of the above spices. I prefer a roast to be "marinated" then cooked. I also really like balsamic vinegar. Any type of vinegar could/can be used. This recipe can also be used in a crockpot - add everything - roast, marinade, veggies and bake on low 6-8 hours.
