Perfectly Decent Generic No-Measure Pot Roast Recipe:

1 Pot roast
redskinned potatoes, one for each portion of meat post-cooking
brussels sprouts
1 onion per pound of meat
1 pkg onion soup mix

Sear the meat on all sides and throw in dutch oven/crockpot.
Wash and quarter potatoes and ring around meat.
Throw brussels sprouts on top of potatoes.
Cube onion and drop on top of that.
Dust all with onion soup.
Add water up to 1/2 of volume (1/3 in case of crock pot), washing down the soup powder.
Add healthy shot of red wine if available.
Cook until sprouts and potatoes are fork tender.

Perfectly stupid thing to do when making pot roast:
Inadvertently realize that you used the rib eye instead of the pot roast.

The good news: Rib eye makes edible pot roast, and is surprisingly lean.
The bad news: Chuck roast will be disgusting if roasted with a potato.
