2 Ingredient Real Dinner

Tonight's dinner only has two ingredients.
Okay, only two you'll have to buy. The rest you'll have, I promise.

It's a roast. A yummy, hearty, enough-to-feed-a-small-army roast.
It takes little effort, little ingredients and a lot of time just sitting.

Ingredients:
Large Rump Roast
1+ bags of carrots, peeled
Oil (olive or vegetable) - I use half of each
Liberal amounts of Salt & Pepper
2-3 cups water
Bay Leaf

Directions:
1 - Pour just enough oil into a large pot to cover the bottom
2 - Warm it on low, toss in your roast and brown on all sides
*Oil heats VERY quickly and will burn your pot if you burn the oil*
3 - Add in water and spices
4 - Add in carrots
5 - Cover and simmer on low 2-3 hours.

Last time I made this, and when my mom made it (I gave this recipe to her!), it took way less than 2 hours for the meat to cook through. So it's your preference really, as long as the meat is cooked.

Serving Suggestion: Mitzy's noodles
Mitzy is the great aunt of my best friend from childhood, who treated me like her own niece when I practically moved in with them every summer.

Cook egg noodles and drain. Fry in a pot with lots o' butter and bread crumbs until coated.

ENJOY!
